EFL FAQs
I have seen the abbreviation ESOL somewhere. What does it stand for?
ESOL stands for English for Speakers of Other Languages. It is usually associated with EFL courses for immigrants living in ENL countries.
I need to prepare to enter university in my country where the language of instruction is English. Do I need the EFL route or the ESP route?
You would need the EFL route. ESP courses are designed to help you with specific needs as a university student or university professor.
To enter university in certain countries, it is not necessary to have EFL skills beyond level 3. However, in other countries, it may be necessary to have reached at least level 5.
I need to prepare to enter a university in the UK or USA. What level of proficiency in EFL would I need?
That depends on the ranking of the university and the academic discipline you wish to pursue. Degrees such as Engineering at an average-ranking university usually require at least level 5. Degrees in Law or Journalism at a top university may require at least level 7.
I need to offer English language skills to get a good job in a good company in my country. In general, what level of EFL would employers expect?
That depends on where you live. Based on our experience, Level 5 (Upper Intermediate) would be considered good in Europe. In Latin America, level 3 (pre-intermediate) would be considered good. However, the appropriate EFL level also depends on the type of job you are looking for.
