Study in U.S.A. - US Education

It is talked of as the land of dream fulfillment, of cutting edge quality, of mega bucks and of life as you want it to be.

Whatever you have heard about the U.S., it's true. And getting an education there is probably the simplest and most reputable way of being a part of the great American dream. And also, US education is eminently affordable, if done the right way. Unlike other parts of the world, where self-funding is the only way to pay for your education, the US education system offers an array of scholarships and loans besides earn-as-you-learn opportunities. Information on all this, and lots more, is available on this site.

We have information on nearly 2300 US Institutions and more than 600 courses. So, be it Music Therapy in University of California or Business Management in Alaska, if you would like to study in USA, we have something for you.

Disance Learning Checklist for Indian Students

More and more universities are offering distance learning packages, recognising the global opportunities available via the Internet and the potential to attract students who might otherwise be unable to study.

The distance-learning students have a much greater choice of course and university than ever before. But how do you make the right choice of course to fit both career goals and lifestyle needs? The Indian Student investigates…

t pays to do your homework thoroughly - below is a checklist of the things you might like to consider, with indications of how you make judgements on some of these issues. We are approaching this advice from the perspective of staff that for some have helped others plan, design and implement their course of study. From questionnaire feedback and discussions with students, as well as from comments by experienced distance learning providers, we have found that academic support and the opportunity for social interaction is as important as course content for a distance-learning student. Many distance learners can feel isolated, and find socialising and working with other distance learners helpful in maintaining motivation and confidence. Personal and academic support from tutors and peers is also a key to success. Your starting point is to be clear about your needs from lifestyle and career points of view - how long will the course take? Can I stop and start? How much does it cost? Do I need a PC with Internet access and how much will this cost me? Is the course content what I want - does it meet my immediate and future career needs? You then need to think about your study demands. This is particularly important if you have never previously studied 'at a distance'. How much time will I need to set aside each week? What learning activities are involved and do they have sufficient variety? What feedback on my ideas and my progress will I get? What study skills support is available? Then, finally you need to explore what level of social integration there is. Is there an initial induction week in your home country? Are there local mentors? What roles do fellow students play -group work and conferencing at a distance? Will I meet them before having an electronic-based discussion with them? Are residentials optional or compulsory? How can you assess university standards of delivery? You can't fully gauge this until you are immersed in the course, but you can get some ideas from the quality of response to your initial enquiry and any application you make. Efficient communication may give you confidence that the course itself will be run effectively. A course website can give an indication of how effective the communication and course management is likely to be. The website and any paper based information sent when enquiring should provide details about all aspects of the course. Your Checklist Lifestyle - Can I: Choose when and where to study? Continue my career with minimal disruption? Benefit from flexible time scales (minimising disruption to normal/work/social practices) Take breaks during the course of study to accommodate unforeseen circumstances without loss of achieved academic credits? Benefit from geographical flexibility, which allows for continuing study on the same programme even if re-located to another part of the world? Commit to the weekly time demands and the years of study demanded of the course? Gain credit for my studies even if I don't go on to the end? Relevance to Career - Can I: Choose a course which is shaped by the employment sector outside the university, or which has professional body status? Apply what is learned from the course to the workplace? Undertake assessments that relate to normal work activities? Apply for academic credit for my previous work experience (Accreditation of prior Experiential Learning)? Learning Activities - Can I: Experience a range of learning activities? E.g. self-study materials (paper or electronics-based); video/audio tape; group work; computer conferencing tutorials; seminars; video conferences; lectures; e-mail Develop both my key skills and professional skills through the course activities and assignments? Assessment & Feedback - Can I: Experience a range of assessment activities? E.g. essays, reports, group work, case studies, examinations, self assessment tasks Identify how and when feedback is given? Academic & Personal Support - Can I: Interact with other students at 'summer school' or residentials, and thereafter continue discussions via electronic means? Gain support from a mentor or personal tutor? Meet University staff during their visits to the region? If I am in the area, meet with other distance-learning students who can provide support and guidance? Have access to University staff and other recourses via the Internet, phone, e-mail or fax? General Benefits - Can I: Obtain value for money? Gauge how efficiently the administration of the course is likely to be? Find out what central university resources I have to access to? E.g. library support service for distance learners career advice, etc

“The TOEFL® test can take you anywhere.”

Regardless of which university you plan to attend, postgraduate programs will require you to present test scores that demonstrate your readiness for study. The TOEFL ® (Test of English as a Foreign Language TM) test is the most widely required for U.S. admissions and has been taken by more than 20 million students worldwide.

The TOEFL test is accepted by more than 6,000 institutions in 110 countries. So, by scoring well on the TOEFL test, you’ll be eligible for admission to virtually any school in the world. You can view the list of universities and register for the test by clicking here.

The TOEFL test:

• Measures the English-language skills you’ll use when you study abroad
• Demonstrates your academic readiness
• Is a name you know and trust — because TOEFL scores are objective, unbiased and fair, you know you can compete equally with other students

The TOEFL Internet-based (iBT) test consists of four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. All four sections are taken on the same day, and the entire test is about four hours long. What is most unique about the test is that it asks you to combine, or integrate, more than one language skill, just like you do every day. For example, sometimes you read a passage, listen to a short lecture about a topic, and then speak or write a response. And you can take notes throughout the entire test just like you would in a real academic class.

The following chart shows the range of questions and the timing for each section. The time limit for each section varies according to the number of questions.

Test Section	Number of Questions	Timing	Score Scales
Reading	3-5 passages, 12-14 questions each	61-100 minutes	0-30
Listening	4-6 lectures, 6 questions each, 2-3 conversations, 5 questions each	60-90 minutes	0-30
BREAK		10 minutes
Speaking	6 tasks, 2 independent and 4 integrated	20 minutes	0-30
Writing	1 integrated task 1 independent task	20 minutes 30 minutes	0-30
Total		4 hours	0-120

Language heard on the TOEFL iBT is designed to sound like real-life conversations from university lectures and classes, labs, professors’ discussions with students, study groups and everyday situations. The reading passages are taken from real textbooks and course materials. This method of testing replicates real university classrooms and life, proves you can communicate your ideas and confirms you are prepared to begin your academic studies.

Practice for the TOEFL test

TOEFL ® Practice Online is the official test preparation website for the TOEFL iBT. It not only simulates the real testing experience, but it also provides instant scores and feedback so you know if you are ready for test day.

The Official Guide to the New TOEFL® iBT is also available for study . a test preparation book published by ETS and McGraw-Hill. The book can be purchased at www.ets.org/toefl/guide/susa, or in bookstores.
