TOEFL is an important requirement to apply for a college or university degree in the U.S. and in some other countries. It is also used to see the level of English students have in their home country in a school or work. During an intensive English program, you can find a TOEFL preparation course, which will strengthen your skills in different areas (reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar, vocabulary, etc.). Watch our ELI teacher explain what the TOEFL prep course is about during our program while you also learn the language.  

The English Language Institute (ELI) offers an exciting and innovative academic program for students learning English as a second language. Our course of study is designed to challenge and engage students. Students are immersed in the language, culture, and the ethnicity of New York City.  ELI offers semester and summer terms of 18 and 22 hours of class per week. 

Students can also join the groups that have already started the semester or summer term and study as many weeks as possible. Students have courses such as reading and writing, grammar, conversation, and TOEFL test preparation workshops with a final TOEFL ITP test, which lets students apply for any CUNY school degree.  Students in our program are entitled to use all the facilities available on campus such as the pool, tennis, basketball, racquetball courts, and fitness center. 

Students can also attend any lectures or workshops they feel would enhance their own learning experience. We invite you to come and see our beautiful campus. Learn English while enjoying the rich culture New York City has to offer.
