This article, Teaching English as a second language (TESL), is brief because it is new. It is important to keep it here because it complements the longer Teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) article. It is not appropriate to use that longer article to write about this one because they are different although related topics. TEFL and TESL are easy to conflate and doing so should be avoided. The teaching profession uses these two distinct acronyms because these two topics are mutually exclusive -- a teacher will generally be in one or the other situation, not both at once. They are not synonyms. Clarity is served by maintaining distinct articles here. Cheers, -- Roger Chrisman ( talk) 01:02, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: procedural close. As pointed out, this is more of a merge request than an RM. No reason not to be bold and do the merge. If there are any objections, start an RfC. Number 5 7 17:39, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
– Merge and rename: Same topic, and per WP:NOTDICT and WP:CONTENTFORK, we do not need and should not have two separate articles for the same thing under two slight-variant names. Proposed name will be WP:CONSISTENT with the learner-side equivalent article at English as a second or foreign language, and their home, Category:English as a second or foreign language. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 06:15, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
