English Language Programs: Often referred to as ESL Programs (or English as a Second Language Programs), these courses vary from elementary through intermediate to advanced. Duration also varies, depending on the intensity of the course. At the beginning of the program, many institutions offer a widely recognized exam that measures your English proficiency in a variety of ways. They may also offer the exam at the end of the program, to measure your success. One popular exam is the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), a product of Education Testing Services of New Jersey. Other exams, such as MELAB or IELTS, are gaining popularity. Some exams are computer-based or Internet-based, while others are taken with pencil and paper.
