If you have completed or are now completing ELI level 5 (or have an equivalent level of English proficiency) and are considering enrolling in a college/university program, call the ELI at 914‑606‑7889 to make an appointment with a TESOL specialist to discuss your future studies. We will help you answer the question: Am I ready for college? We will evaluate your English language ability and, if appropriate, provide a referral necessary for entrance to the college. Even if you are not completely ready for college, you may be able to begin a certificate or degree program while you continue improving your English. In addition to our general ESL programs, we have specialized ESL courses which have helped many ESL learners succeed in college and achieve their academic goals. TESOL Certification The intensive, 12-week, non-credit TESOL certification program prepares you to teach ESL to adults in the U.S. or abroad. Practical classroom instruction integrated with observation and discussion of ELI classes allows for development of knowledge and teaching skills, which you apply and hone by practice teaching in our diverse array of courses which span a broad range of proficiency levels.
