About EFS

The English for Foreign Students Program in the Stanford Language Center offers courses to international graduate students in English as a second language (ESL) and training courses for prospective ESL teachers.

During the academic year (September-June) participation in ESL classes is strictly limited to matriculated students taking the courses for credit, with courses aimed specifically toward improving English language proficiency for graduate study and professional development. We regret that we cannot accommodate outside students, and auditing is not allowed.

In July and August, EFS offers a variety of ESL courses for summer visitors, incoming graduate students, and visiting scholars in addition to continuing graduate students.  Read about EFS Summer Programs in the Stanford Report.
