Happy New Year! We hope that 2012 brings you lots of success!
2011 proved to be an outstanding year for the TOEFL® program. We achieved many important milestones — such as our visa accreditation in the UK and Australia, and our customer support expansion in local markets, with our new in-language support centers. We also made the TOEFL test experience easier with our changes to the Reading section. In this issue of the eNews Update, we will reflect on these accomplishments and more.
We are starting 2012 off with our continued efforts to provide new resources for you and your students. These resources include our free professional development workshop at the 2012 Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) conference, and the TOEFL scholarships available to your incoming students.
We hope you'll find these stories interesting and informative — and we welcome any feedback.
Sincerely,
Eileen Tyson
Executive Director of Global Client Relations, ETS
