We have
developed a 12-week comprehensive
Prep Program for the TOEFL® iBT
that gives students the best
preparation possible and the
confidence they need to succeed!
The new Internet based TOEFL® iBT
requires students to answer
questions related to speaking,
listening, reading and writing – and
measures not just what they know,
but how well they can express
themselves and apply their knowledge.
By taking the Prep Program, they
will practice integrated reading and
listening skills, improve writing
and speaking, as well as learn test-taking
strategies. The 12-week (30 lessons
per week) Prep Program for the TOEFL®
iBT also includes a seat for the
exam!
And now, through an agreement with
ETS, we have become ETS’ largest
TOEFL Internet-Based Test (iBT)
provider in the USA,

Pre-Arrival Test
To help
students plan for study in the U.S.,
we have created a Pre-Arrival Test
of language proficiency (PAT). The
PAT is a quick, inexpensive and easy
way to determine how long it will
take a student to reach his or her
goal for learning English. Student
can also use the results to see if
they are ready for one of the
exciting advanced level courses
offered, like the complete,
3-session TOEFL® iBT Preparation
course.
The PAT
evaluated grammar, listening,
speaking and writing abilities in 30
to 50 minutes, on-line. The test
taker receives immediate, machine-generated
feedback on grammar and listening
skills after completing the test.
And he or she will get teacher-generated
feedback on speaking and writing
skills within 72 hours after taking
the test, sent to any designated
e-mail address.
