The house of Babel

I almost got messed up by ELS and ESL.

The thing is this. I was looking for some way to get into American University. For foreign people whose native language is not English, you know, you have to have TOEFL score.

And I knew recently there is conditional admission for foreign students. It means that, if you did not have good TOEFL score before you came, you can do this conditional admission. After you came to USA, you can study English.

In this point, I was messed up. Do you think which one was combined with the conditional admission? It was ESL, not ELS!!!!!!!!!!!!

ESL is English as a Second Language.

ELS is English Language School.

So I tell you, Be careful.
