TOEFL Preparation
This course will prepare you for TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), which, along with IELTS, is one of the major standardised assessments used to gauge English language ability of non-native speakers. As with IELTS, achieving the required test “band” or score on TOEFL iBT is a demonstration of your Academic English proficiency. That’s why it is accepted by thousands of English-speaking universities worldwide as a prerequisite for admission.

About TOEFL iBT
TOEFL iBT (internet-based test) is 100% Academic English-focussed and evaluates students’ ability to express themselves in English in an academic environment. This internationally-recognised exam, which consists of four main sections based on the four core language skills (reading, listening, speaking, and writing), requires intensive preparation.
The exam is either taken at a local test centre, or can now be taken remotely at any qualifying location through TOEFL at Home.
IELTS or TOEFL?
Both exams are internationally recognised, standardised English assessments. Both are considered gateways to visas, employment, and (in the case of TOEFL iBT) entry into undergraduate and post-graduate programmes at universities and other academic institutions. Many academic establishments will accept both exams.
The main difference between the two is the format of the questions. While IELTS tests each skill separately, the TOEFL exam combines different skills in the same task. So for example you may have to listen to a short lecture, then read a text on a related topic. After that, you will need to summarise the information in writing.
An understanding of the task types in the TOEFL iBT is essential. The TOEFL Preparation course offers extensive conceptual and practical training in the two Speaking and Writing task types, namely ‘Independent’ and ‘Integrated’.
TOEFL iBT is a computer-based exam. On our TOEFL course, you will gain proficiency in technology-based assessments, including on-screen prompts. You will also learn how to complete the voice-recorded Speaking section of the exam.
The TOEFL iBT writing section is assessed according to criteria such as essay planning and organisation and development. You will be given coaching in the key TOEFL iBT writing criteria as well as detailed essay feedback.
