PROVING YOUR ENGLISH PROFICIENCY FOR JOINING A COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY

Posted date: 02 Jun 2021

Scholars are often apprehensive about studying abroad, but this apprehension stems primarily from the process' unfamiliarity. Prospective overseas students will wonder, "Where do I begin?" Which (if any) exams should I take? Do I need to complete the required assessments online or will I have to travel internationally? What will the admissions and tuition fees are? While procedures differ by institution and target country, some processes are universal for nearly all students interested in studying abroad. For example, many international institutions that welcome learners from all around the world may need a language exam as well as some standardized assessments. Nonetheless, some institutions waive standardized examinations in favor of a language examination that assesses proficiency in a language, such as English. The following are a few language tests to take before enrolling in a college or university abroad:

* TOEFL® (Test of English as a Foreign Language)

TOEFL® is a test that evaluates a learner's ability to communicate in English in an academic setting. Many colleges throughout the world have made TOEFL® a requirement for all non-native English speakers. TOEFL® results can possibly improve your chances of receiving a scholarship. Its results are valid for two years, after which time you must retake the exam to see if you've improved. The most current TOEFL® score will be taken into account by all institutions. Once you've decided to study abroad, you can register for this examination online. Remember that English is the most widely spoken language in the planet.

* IELTS (International English Language Testing System)

Individuals' language competency is assessed using the International English Language Testing System. It decides whether a person can work or study in an environment where English is the primary communication language. IELTS is also used in the immigrant application process in countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. It is one of two exams in the officially recognized Secure English Language Tests in the United Kingdom (SELTs). Academic centers, recruiters, immigration authorities, and governments are among the nearly 9000 global entities that recognize the International English Language Testing System.
