Description

Get to know the TOEFL iBT test in this crash course that teaches you about each question type you will see on the test including the new Writing for an Academic Discussion Task. I will teach you the general format of the test along with how to navigate the ETS website and find other resources to practice your English skills. Each section of this course will focus on the four areas of the TOEFL test. You will get to know the reading section with its ten question types, the listening section with its eight question types, the speaking section with its four tasks, and the writing section with its 2 tasks, and what they will look like on test day. You will learn the techniques and strategies to answer each question type in those sections and how to be a successful test-taker. Each lecture comes with multiple example and practice questions to help you feel ready for your TOEFL test. I will walk you through each example question so that you understand how to answer it correctly. I will also guide you on the scoring process, so that you can understand how to demonstrate your best English skills. My philosophy is that the more you know the test itself, the less you have to fear!
