The acronym "EFL" stands for "English as a Foreign Language." This term is commonly used in language education to refer to the teaching and learning of English by non-native speakers in countries where English is not the primary language. In an EFL context, the language is typically taught and learned in a classroom setting, with little to no immersion in an English-speaking environment. This distinguishes EFL from other terms in language education, such as ESL (English as a Second Language), which applies to learning English in a setting where it is the dominant language of the surrounding community. The focus of EFL programs is to provide learners with the necessary skills to communicate effectively in English for various purposes, including travel, work, or study abroad.
