  Teaching English as a Foreign Language
English is the language of science, air traffic control, tourism, the internet and to a very large extent of trade and export.
This term is predominantly used when English is being taught in a country where it isn’t the native language (for example teaching English to Spanish people in Spain).
This is where English is being taught to non-native speakers of English in a country where it is the native language (for example teaching immigrants to the UK/USA).

TEFL or Teaching English as a foreign language refers to teaching English to students for whom it is not their mother tongue (see English language learning and teaching, which explains the distinctions between different kinds of teaching of English to non-native speakers).

The expansion of the European Union and of English as a commercial language have gone hand in hand, and consequently there is great demand for instruction, both in the education sector and in the private sector.

Foreign students are often proficient in their own native tongues, and do not get an opportunity to practice their English skills at home, which makes your job of teaching such students even more challenging.
TEFL courses in England not only train you in all aspects of teaching English, but they also give you hands on training simultaneously.
