Because all instruction, course work, assignments and examinations at Moscow University Touro are in English, all students are required to pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 500 and pass an English Placement Test before entering degree programs. For those students who do not yet possess the required English language abilities, Moscow University Touro offers an intensive program in English as a Second Language (ESL). The program is designed to take students with few English language skills and provide them with in-depth instruction in grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, creative writing skills as well as spoken English. Once students have completed the ESL program, they are well equipped for their degree courses. Moscow University Touro’s ESL program is truly unique in Russia because of our Computer-Assisted language Center (CLC) - the ideal learning environment. The CLC contains all the educational facilities needed to learn language quickly and easily. We have state-of-the-art multimedia and computer equipment and the most advanced textbooks ensuring exposure to reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Only the most modern and effective ESL techniques are incorporated into the program which has been designed to provide accelerated learning. The ESL course of study is divided into three main levels, each one geared to a degree of competency. The course work includes basic as well as business English components. Emphasis is placed on the ability to communicate effectively.

Our English language programs are open to all students, not only those who intend to continue in our other academic programs. We can tailor English language training to the needs of students ranging from individual to group sessions, or sessions in the daytime or evening.
