This test assesses whether a student\u2019s English language skills are high enough to function successfully in an advanced academic environment. To pass the TOEFL and meet the high expectations of an English-speaking university, students must demonstrate advanced proficiency in <strong>reading, writing, listening, and speaking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This program consists of <strong>two parts<\/strong>, with a total of <strong>eight courses<\/strong>. Four courses are offered every seven weeks (three weeks during the Summer II session). Each session provides <strong>hands-on practice<\/strong> focused on specific aspects of the TOEFL, in addition to classes designed to improve other essential skills for the test and university success. <strong>We highly recommend that students attend both parts<\/strong> to gain the most benefit from this program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PART A &#8211; Courses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>TOEFL Listening &amp; Speaking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic Reading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic Writing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advanced Grammar (Optional)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PART B &#8211; Courses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>TOEFL Reading &amp; Writing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic Speaking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic Listening &amp; Note-taking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advanced Grammar (Optional)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Students with <strong>F-1 visas<\/strong> must register for <strong>all four courses<\/strong> to maintain legal status in the U.S. Non-visa holders may register for one or more classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On-Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong data-start=\"667\" data-end=\"692\">SESSIONS REGISTRATION<\/strong><\/th><th><strong data-start=\"695\" data-end=\"707\">CALENDAR<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong data-start=\"756\" data-end=\"768\">SPRING I<\/strong> &#8211; January 6 &amp; 7<\/td><td><strong data-start=\"787\" data-end=\"815\">January 12 \u2013 February 2<\/strong>7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"835\">SPRING II<\/strong> &#8211; March 3 &amp; 4<\/td><td><strong data-start=\"852\" data-end=\"875\">March 9 \u2013 May 1<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"894\">SUMMER I<\/strong> &#8211; May 5 &amp; 6<\/td><td><strong data-start=\"909\" data-end=\"929\">May 11 \u2013 June 2<\/strong>6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong data-start=\"936\" data-end=\"946\">FALL I<\/strong> &#8211; August 11 &amp; 12<\/td><td><strong data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"991\">August 17 \u2013 October 2<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1009\">FALL II<\/strong> &#8211; October 6 &amp; 7<\/td><td><strong data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1055\">October 12 \u2013 December 2<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Monday, Wednesday &amp; Friday:<\/strong> 9:00 AM &#8211; 11:30 AM &amp; <strong>Tuesday &amp; Thursday:<\/strong> 9:00 AM &#8211; 1:30 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All Week<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost per Session<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>$1,350.00 USD<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>106 Hours of Instruction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>7 weeks per session<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The <strong>Academic Preparation Program<\/strong> is <strong>not<\/strong> offered during the <strong>Summer II Session<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"mailto:laurac@unam.mx\"><strong>Contact Email: laurac@unam.mx<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Phone:<\/strong> (210) 222 8626<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/unamsa.edu\/libros-de-ingles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Recommended Books<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The cost of the books is not included in the total price of the program.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/unamsa.edu\/policies-terms-conditions-and-refunds\/\">POLICIES, TERMS, CONDITIONS AND REFUNDS<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/unamsanantonio.org\/handbook\/?page=49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Program Length<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fdcfc74e wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/unamsanantonio.org\/SIS\/alumnos\/login.php\">Register Here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Academic Preparation Program 2025 Program Overview This program is specifically designed for ESL (English as a Second Language) learners interested in pursuing a college degree program in the U.S. One important requirement for international students at most universities is an adequate score on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language).
