ESL acronym

This resource has been made for the purpose of teaching English language learners. We
know that students can be learning English in many different places, in many different
ways and at age, so we try to keep these resources as general as possible.

There are many acronyms associated with English language teaching. These include (but
are not limited to) ELT, TEFL, EFL, ELL, EAL and ESOL. While the term ESL may not fully
represent the linguistic backgrounds of all students, it is the most widely recognised term
for English language teaching globally. Therefore, we use the term ‘ESL’ in the names of
our resources to make them easy to find but they are suitable for any student learning to
speak English.
