TESOL证书和TEFL证书有什么区别

今天就给大家说一下！

先看如下这样的一段话：

ESL is English which is usually taught to students in an English speaking country. EFL is English which is taught to students in a foreign, non-English speaking country. As it is true of many European countries, where is common to learn to speak more than one foreign language. For these reasons ESL is typically the term used in the United States, an English-speaking nation, whereas EFL is more often the term of choice in countries where English is not the native language.

TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and traditionally refers to teaching in non-English speaking countries. TESL stands for Teaching English as a Second Language and refers to teaching in English speaking countries, to non-native speakers living or working there.

In practice, the acronyms TEFL and TESL are often used interchangeably, and both are covered by the all-encompassing TESOL, which stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.

大家仔细阅读这段话其实就大概清楚TEFL和TESOL的关系。

1，TEFL证书和TESOL资格证书（international TESOL certificate）其实是一样的，只是名称叫法或者不同国家对其的叫法不一样，甚至有的机构成为TEFL/TESOL证书或者认证课程，就是这样的道理；

2，在英语为非母语国家，TEFL证书的叫法更加普遍一些；

3，TESOL是代表一个专业学科，TESOL证书除了资格证书，还有学历类的证书，如master in TESOL，TEFL不是一个学科，或者它代表一个行业；
