TOEFL PREPARATION

This online class is to prepare students for the TOEFL exam (Test of English as a Foreign Language).

The test has four parts: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Each week the class will focus on one section of the test. The class includes general language instruction, test-taking strategies, common errors and pitfalls, specific instructions for the speaking and writing parts of the test, scoring, and student work review/evaluations.
