Course description

Our TOEFL program is a 12-week intensive course that reviews the structure of the test, all four skill areas (reading, listening, speaking, and writing), and useful techniques to help you achieve your desired score. We work on one skill area each day Mondays-Thursdays and finish the week with a practice exam that includes all four skill areas on Fridays.

Students will need to either complete Level 5 of our ESL program or prove sufficient English skill by taking our placement test and scoring at or above the score our Level 5 students are expected to achieve by the end of the program. At the end of the 12-week TOEFL class, students will be prepared to take the TOEFL exam. This course may be repeated.

At American English Language School, our AELS students have the opportunity to take the official TOEFL iBT test right on our premises. Our center provides a familiar environment that enhances test results, ensuring convenience and ease for our students.

"The Best School to Learn English"

Jennifer Cho

I had a great time at American English Language School. I was able to get lots of practice in speaking English with my classmates because there were only 5 students in the class. Also, the teachers were so helpful and kind whenever I needed help or had a question. I felt like my learning needs were really met at this school, and I learned so much.
I also loved Culture Week! We got to listen to speakers, go on cultural field trips, and practice speaking English with people outside of class. It really helped me learn much more about American culture and have more confidence in speaking to English speakers.
I would recommend this place to everybody!

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying full time in the United States for more than 18 hours per week, you will receive an I-20 that you need to submit to the US embassy along with your F-1 student visa application. The I-20 has a SEVIS tracking number on it. Students who wish to apply for a student visa must pay the SEVIS fee online before going to the US embassy or consulate for their visa interview.

Your I-20 will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you.

Please note that United States law states that an I-20 can only be issued to students who intend to pursue full-time English language studies. United States law does not permit students to study part-time with an F-1 Student Visa. If you are studying for less than 18 hours per week, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.
