English As A Foreign Language For Adults
English as a foreign language is also known as English as a second language, E.S.O.L. (ESOL), E.F.L. (EFL), E.A.L. (EAL) and English as an additional language. English as a foreign language refers to the study of English in a country where English is not the dominant language. English as an additional language or English as a second language refers to the study of learning English in predominately English-speaking countries. Students will probably study this type of English if they are non-native speakers.
