In reality there is very little difference, if any. As the need for English language training has developed worldwide, the two terms have almost become synonymous.

There’s only a handful of cities in the world that truly deserve ‘must visit’ status and Hanoi is certainly one of them.

Is it because there’s history, culture and art on display in seemingly every street...  [Read more]

When considering a career in teaching English as a foreign language, two common certifications that often come up are TESOL and ESL. While both certifications can open doors to teaching opportunities, there are key differences between the two that aspiring teachers should be aware of.

TESOL is a broader term that encompasses teaching English to non-native speakers in various contexts, including ESL (English as a Second Language) and EFL (English as a Foreign Language). On the other hand, ESL specifically refers to teaching English to non-native speakers in English-speaking countries. From an...  [Read more]

We understand how difficult it can be to sort through the various TESOL certification courses on the market. That is why we are here to explain the various TESOL course levels. The general characteristics of the frameworks are frequently linked to a variety of elements, such as the total number of study hours, the type of certification, whether or not the program includes a practical component, and the study technique used (full-time or part-time study).

  Before we go into looking at the actual receptive skills lesson, if we were thinking about what potential problems there could be in these lessons. So, what things could go wrong in a reading lesson? Well, firstly the students when they are reading in a language that is not their native language, they tend to read every word as a separate piece and by reading word to word it?s very difficult to get an overall impression of what that particular text is saying. Secondly, the sentence length in a lot of articles that we will get will be very long and many of our students will not be used to that structure of language. So, here it's important to have a think about the way in which the text has actually been written and will it be fairly easy to read. The final thing is the actual...  [Read more]
