This study attempted to reveal how the participants’ satisfaction level with the program can contribute to their higher achievement of a TOEIC score. The 164 participants who attended the Short-term TOEIC program from 2016-2017 were asked to answer questions regarding their achievement on the TOEIC score, motivation for their participation in the short-term TOEIC program and their satisfaction level with the program. Through the statistical analysis of that data, the following was revealed. 1) There were no statistically significant correlations between the participants’ achievement of their TOEIC score and satisfaction with the program, and 2) Overall, the students’ TOEIC scores improved. Therefore, it is reasonable to state that the short-term TOEIC program was effective in helping participants improve their TOEIC scores. Hopefully this study sheds some light on designing more effective curricula for the short-term TOEIC programs for EFL college students in the future.
