TEFL is an acronym for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Also known as TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages), ELT (English Language Teaching) or teaching ESL (English as a Second Language), these acronyms all refer to essentially the same thing: teaching English to non-native speakers.
There are a myriad of courses available, but the most widely recognised and accepted is a 160-hour TEFL course with real teaching practice. It should also be accredited by a reputable, government-recognised body. We provide the Trinity CertTESOL qualification which is a UK government-backed qualification and recognised internationally. There are very few TEFL courses recognised as widely.
The Trinity CertTESOL is a teacher training course for people who have little or no experience of teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL). It is accredited by Trinity College London and gives people the skills and knowledge they need to become successful English teachers all over the world.
