INTRODUCTION

TESL - Teaching English as a Second Language 

Educators to teach English to non-English speakers. 

The significant difference between these two certifications is the intended teaching location. 

TESL courses are geared toward teachers planning to teach English to speakers of foreign languages living in a native-English speaking country.

A TESL qualification is an advantage for teachers looking for work in English speaking countries, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and Australia. 

Whereas TEFL is more geared toward teachers planning to relocate temporarily or permanently abroad, TESL is a suitable course choice for those looking to expand their careers within their current home country.

Once TESL-qualified, teaching job opportunities may include language support teaching for students in public or private English schools or positions as an English teacher within private language schools
