Here's what the English club website says:

ESL stands for English as a Second Language.
EFL stands for English as a Foreign Language.
ESL is used when people learn English in an English speaking country.
EFL is used when people learn English in a non-English speaking country.

No. The English is the same. There is more emphasis on speaking about every-day needs in ESL. There is more emphasis on grammar and literature in EFL.
