Students also select from a wide variety of elective classes to study topics pertinent to their individual interests, including TOEFL Preparation, Business English, Pronunciation, U.S. Culture, and Listening & Note Taking. As an added feature, more than 550 American colleges and universities accept the ELS Certification of English in place of the TOEFL in order to admit students to their undergraduate degree programs.

Faculty Qualifications |
|
|
| ELS instructors are highly-qualified, native speaking professionals. Many instructors have lived and traveled abroad and have extensive training and experience teaching English to students from around the world. The personal and academic qualities of ELS instructors make each uniquely qualified to offer meaningful language-learning opportunities and to care deeply about their students. |

| ELS provides students with the opportunity to live in on-campus dormitories or enjoy a homestay experience. Students living on-campus will be close to classes, campus activities and other students - both American and international. ELS also arranges homestays for those students who want to experience American culture first-hand as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. Private off-campus apartments may also available; however students must make their own arrangements. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly. |

| The ELS Language Center on the University metropolitan campus is situated in charming Teaneck, New Jersey, an affluent suburban community just 20 minutes from the heart of downtown New York City. Home to over 38,000 residents, Teaneck sits on the Hackensack River and boasts a comfortable collection of quaint homes and unique shops, a variety of ethnic restaurants, and vast public parks to while away an afternoon. If it is a more bustling environment you seek, magnificent New York City is a quick bus, train, or cab ride away. New Jersey's public transportation system offers students easy access to Manhattan's eclectic neighborhoods - feel the energy of Times Square, stroll through serene Central Park, explore the charm of Greenwich Village, and shop among the classic 5th Avenue stores. Students can also be easily transported to the front-door of the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street, the congregation of nations around the world at the United Nations, world-class musicals and theaters on Broadway, or innumerable restaurants, bars and night clubs located throughout the city. Outside of Manhattan, there are plenty of exciting places to explore in the surrounding boroughs. Historic Yankee Stadium and the famous Bronx Zoo are major destinations while many enjoy visiting the stunning Japanese Botanical Garden and legendary Coney Island in Brooklyn or the great Shea Stadium in Queens. Regarded as the capital city of the world, New York City offers an education onto itself and provides endless opportunities to tap into its energy, enjoy its diversity, and above all else, to experience a city unlike any other. |
