This course is for students with an interest in improving their English as well as an outside activity like working. Lessons are generally held in the morning, giving students free time to follow their own interests. The course provides the same kind of learning experience and the same components as in the Intensive Course, but obviously progress will be slower. Course is subject to availability at the school.

TOEFL Exam Courses

TOEFL stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language. Many universities and institutions around the world use TOEFL scores as a condition of entry, especially in the USA and Canada.
TOEFL can now be taken as a written test or as a computer-based test. The test has four sections, which must all be answered. The sections are Listening, Structure, Reading and Writing. The difference between the written and the computer-based tests is that the computer-based test is computer-adaptive. This means that the computer chooses the next questions on how well you answered the last question.
