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.
