What is the difference between EFL and ESL?

There is only a small difference between EFL (English as a Foreign Language) and ESL (English as a Second Language). Both refer to the study or acquisition of English language skills by those with another native tongue. Use the link below, read a couple of paragraphs, and become your own expert.ESL: English as a Second Language*EFL: English as a Foreign LanguageAccording to some professionals, there are clear differences, depending on the student's place of residence, and whether or not they intend to live in an English-speaking country, or just want to be able to speak English in their own, non-English-speaking, country.Academics often make much of such differences. However, the Cambridge University English Language Teaching qualifications, for example, make no particular distinction between the two. A qualified and competent English-Language teacher is able to adapt the course to the English language needs of any student, according to their individual needs and abilities.*(For external comments on ESL v.

What is coherence in writing?

if you are 'coherent' in the way you write it means everything in your writing is logically layed out and connected. If it was an essay, one thing leads on to another, for example one paragraph leads on to another-the main ideas of each paragraph seem to connect but still make sense. this makes the reader feel that your writing is constantly flowing. it also means you are very consistent in your writing. consistantly and continuously through your writing you can connect each paragraph some how, that you can consistenly write concisely as well. you can also consistently write in formal english. you can express yourself clearly and continously through your essay for example. ___ I assume you do not simply mean coherence in contrast to incoherence. Continuity is the the key to coherence. Some very well written scholarly works read seamlessly from the first sentence to the last.

Is there a research on the relationship of metacognition and English proficiency of senior English language major?

Nothing this specific appears to be available right now. However, there are many articles on the relationship between metacognition and language proficiency, especially in respect to English as a Second Language (ESL) or as a Foreign Language (EFL). The article "The Effect of a Suggested Training Program in Some Metacognitive Language Learning Strategies on Developing Listening and Reading Comprehension of University EFL Students" by Ahmed M. M. Abdelhafez (2006) appears promising, as it also deals with college students (although they may or may not be English Majors). You may wish to connect your research about metacognition and language proficiency to further research on the need for metacognitive learning techniques in upper-division studies.

What are the sociocultural effects of teaching English as a foreign language in non English speaker countries?

i'm currently teaching EFL to Koreans, and learning Korean at the same time. there is no question that local language encompasses the way people think on a deep, fundamental level. therefore, the mind learner's minds have to think outside of what they are used to. at the least, this causes ones own point of view to be examined more closely, and perhaps changed.
