TEFL or Teaching English as a foreign language refers to teaching English to students for whom it is not their mother tongue. TEFL can take place in English-speaking regions, but usually takes place in the student's own country. There, TEFL can be either within the already prevalent school education system or in after-school language classes or with a one-on-one tutor. The teachers may be native or non-native speakers of English.
The basic qualification for teaching English is an undergraduate degree in any subject, plus a TESL or TEFL certificate.
