From: "Leah Urso" <morahleah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Thank you for this enlightening essay - you touched on the 
essence of the confusion between ESL and EFL. As a former ESL 
teacher in America, I often wonder what my students here actually 
need to know (I teach elementary students). Some have American parents. 
Others plan to travel to America, while  others have no interest 
in anything not Israeli. In University, many have to deal with 
textbooks in English.  I would like to know more about the 
European system.
