    English as an Additional Language. It’s the new term to replace ESL, English as a Second Language, since it’s overwhelmingly common for non-english speakers picking up the language to already speak more than one language

    I was teaching university students from various parts of the world whose English skills weren’t strong enough for them to just be part of the regular student body.
