    Default acronyms?

    What do these acronyms mean?
    ESL, ESOL, EFL, TESL, TESOL, TEFL....

    I know that they all involve learning and teaching English, but what do they really mean?

    You can find them here: http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/efl.html
    There's not a huge difference. For instance, Americans tend to use ESL and British ESOL.
