How does ESOL have a syllable more than ESL? I've always heard ESOL pronounced as "E-SOL", which has two syllables, by my count, whereas "ESL" when pronunced as the letters, not as an acronym, has three. I've heard some people try to pronounce it as "E-SuL", but it never sounded right. Meg ESL Teacher "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
