Does ESL stand for English as a secondary language ? Is that in common usage ? I have never seen it used to designate a group of people.

Is that in common usage ? I have never seen it used to designate a group of people.
- BiancaDelRio 9y ago> Does ESL stand for English as a secondary language ? I believe so. I picked up this usage (ESL as a descriptor of person) from forums and boards around the internet. Not sure how correct it is.
- reaperducer 9y agoIt's been in use for a long time. I remember seeing it in the 70's in colleges that taught immigrants English for free in night classes.
- haZard_OS 9y agoIt is accurate and also still in use in academia. In every educational institution I have worked, "ESL" is used both verbally and in digital records.
