Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

TESOL, or Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, refers to professionals trained to teach English to non-native speakers. TESOL educators develop lessons to help learners improve skills like speaking, listening, reading, and writing in English, often focusing on cultural context and communication effectiveness. They work in diverse settings worldwide—schools, universities, language institutes, and online platforms—adapting teaching methods to different learners' needs. TESOL certification ensures teachers have the skills to support language learners, fostering greater cultural understanding and opportunities through language proficiency.
