I have taught English for five years. / I have been teaching English for five years.
1. I have taught English for five years.
2. I have been teaching English for five years.
Hello,
The sentences above are self-made. I say to myself that these two sentences both are correct but the difference is that in #1 I am not continuing teaching and the action has been finished. But in #2 I'm still continuing teaching English.
Is my analysis right?
Thank you.

No, with no more context both sentences are ambiguous as to whether you are still teaching or have recently stopped.
