To study a language abroad, should I take TOEFL, IELTS, or ELS courses?

To study language abroad, it is recommended to take IELTS or TOEFL. IELTS and TOEFL are widely recognized around the world.

There are more than 2,300 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada that stipulate that all foreign students applying to study at the school must provide one or two standardized tests of T0EFL, GRE, GMAT or TSE. It proves that only applicants who meet the school's required scores can be eligible for admission and scholarship application. In addition to colleges and universities in most countries such as the United States and Canada, some countries and regions in Europe (such as the United Kingdom), Oceania (such as Australia, New Zealand), and Southeast Asia have also recognized TOEFL test scores. In recent years, domestic United Nations agencies in China and foreign companies and joint ventures have also used TOEFL test scores when recruiting staff, or when the International Fund tests staff's English proficiency.

The IELTS test is 100% recognized by institutions in the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, and is also the language proficiency certificate for skilled immigrant visa applications in these three countries. Among them, IELTS is the only recognized language test for China-Canada Student Partnership Program (SPP) and Study Implantation Program (SDS) applications. In Hong Kong, many universities sponsor fresh graduates to take the IELTS test. In the comprehensive recruitment of Hong Kong government civil servants, the IELTS test is used as proof of English language proficiency. In addition, IELTS scores are also one of the recruitment conditions for many companies in Hong Kong. IELTS is also the preferred English language proficiency certificate for English-taught programs in some institutions in Malaysia, Singapore, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and other countries.
