TOEFL is now a smooth ride

Updated on: Sunday, February 20, 2011

The creator of the TOEFL® test, Educational Testing Service (ETS), announced the launch of the TOEFL Journey ™ program, a new online platform to assist English language learners as they plan to take the TOEFL test and begin their study abroad journey on February 18. Available through the TOEFL Go Anywhere website, the interactive program offers students a wealth of useful information, online tools, and study tips as they begin to explore study abroad destinations at the more than 7,500 institutions around the world that accept the TOEFL test.

The TOEFL Journey program creates a personalized home page for each student based on their expressed study abroad interests and identified stage within the planning process. The TOEFL Journey page assists students in organizing pertinent information such as their upcoming TOEFL test date and their top university selection, as well as providing access to a wide spectrum of resources ranging from helpful hints for living in a foreign country, to a comprehensive listing of student visa requirements and available scholarship opportunities.

“The TOEFL Journey program is a ground-breaking tool in the field to connect students with relevant and timely information to make well-informed decisions regarding their educational aspirations,” commented Xiaofei Tang, TOEFL brand director. “The user-friendly site navigation and engaging interface, coupled with the integration of mobile and e-mail messaging, offers students a first-class toolkit to meet their study abroad goals.”

Available free-of-charge, in the upcoming months, the program will also be available on the TOEFL Go Anywhere websites in Chinese and Korean.
