To achieve this goal, this course focuses on high intermediate-level reading, listening, speaking, and writing, including practice exam questions and simulation tests. Also, basic test-taking strategies will be introduced, continuously focusing on the development of the four skills of English proficiency.

TP700B TOEFL PREP II

This course focuses on teaching standardized test taking strategies for the TOEFL iBT while strengthening the main skills of English learning: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Though the intent and focus of the course is specifically aimed towards enhancing TOEFL students’ iBT scores, the material covered in class will fine-tune each student’s communicative skills in English for many different formal settings. This course is designed to reinforce classroom exercises and provide opportunities for students to demonstrate their independence in learning outside the classroom. The instructor will consistently assign and check purpose-driven homework throughout the course.

TP700C TOEFL PREP III

TP700C TOEFL PREP III is available to international students who have successfully completed TP700B. This course is designed to help students polish their advanced English skills in order to achieve a successful score on the TOEFL iBT exam. In this course, students will work on improving their reading comprehension skills, formulaic writing skills, and on becoming thoroughly familiar with the structure, format, and content of the Reading and Writing sections of the test. In addition, students will work on improving their note-taking skills, advanced-level listening comprehension skills and speaking skills. Throughout this course, there are multiple practice tests, which will allow students to take practice TOEFL tests in order to become familiar with the exam. They will then analyze results to find areas of weakness and work on improvement. Students will also become accustomed to the test-taking environment and the structure of the test.

TP700D TOEFL PREP IV
