What are ESL and EFL?

ESL stands for 'English as a Second Language', while EFL stands for 'English as a Foreign Language'. EFL refers to learning English in a non-English-speaking region, such as studying English in an Asian or Latin American nation. Typically, EFL is learned as part of a student's school curriculum or for career purposes if working for an international corporation. 

ESL is the use of English is generally by refugees, immigrants and their children within English speaking nations, such as Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, and so on. Usually, English is learnt to function in the new host country, whether for daily activities, for education, or for employment purposes.

Studies have shown that over 75 countries have English as a significant language spoken by their populace. The English language is the language spoken by the greatest number of non-native speaker with 250 million to 350 million non-native speakers. Over 309 million people speak English as their first language, as of 2005.
