COMMUNICATION BUILDS BETTER COMMUNITIES

TESOL Ministry

Academic resources and expertise often remain out of reach for many volunteer English language tutors, teachers, programs & Christian ministries. We bridge this gap by fostering partnerships to provide high-quality resources and training.  Together, we can enhance these vital programs, improving communication and cultivating stronger, more vibrant communities.

What is TESOL?

TESOL is an acronym for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (in any context).

Other common acronyms are:

  • ESL – English as a Second Language (Used for people learning English in settings where the main language is English.)
  • EFL – English as a Foreign Language (Used for people learning English in settings where the main language is not English.)
  • TESL – Teaching English as a Second Language & commonly used as TESOL
  • TEFL – Teaching English as a Foreign Language (used less often)
