Gold&Es announced on December 19 that its premium test English online lecture brand, Siwon School Lab (LAB), has entered into a strategic partnership with ETS TOEFL, the official test organizer for TOEFL.
Siwon School Lab is Gold&Es's specialized test English brand, which has won first place in the Hit Brand Awards for six consecutive years. Through this agreement, Siwon School Lab has established an official channel to receive the latest information directly from the test organizer regarding the revised TOEFL exam in 2026, including trends in question composition, test structure, and evaluation methods.
Siwon School Lab will develop learning materials using official questions and data-driven content provided by ETS TOEFL. By utilizing ETS TOEFL content in the same format as the actual test, the brand plans to support learners in diagnosing their proficiency and establishing strategies tailored to their level, thereby helping them achieve tangible improvements in performance.
In particular, Park Jooyoung, a TOEFL specialist instructor at Siwon School Lab, will provide systematic lectures on the key changes in the revised exam and effective study strategies. With this collaboration, Siwon School Lab aims to further strengthen its position as a trusted learning platform for TOEFL test-takers in Korea.
Yang Honggeol, CEO of Siwon School, stated, "Through this partnership with ETS TOEFL, we are now able to provide test-takers with the most reliable TOEFL content," adding, "With systematic textbooks and online lectures tailored to the 2026 revised TOEFL, we will lead the domestic TOEFL education market."
Ye Heekyung, CEO of ETS, commented, "The 2026 TOEFL revision was implemented to more accurately assess the practical English proficiency of test-takers worldwide and to enhance test convenience. In line with these changes, we have signed a content agreement with Siwon School Lab to strengthen learners' access to study resources and support, and we look forward to various collaborations in the future."
