It is essential to have a good command of the English language in all of the four disciplines of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking before attempting the course. This means having the ability to speak about a wide range of topics, the ability to write a short well-structured essay in English, to be able to read, understand and analyse complicated texts on a wide variety of topics and to be able to listen to and understand lectures and dialogues at university level. It is also essential to have a wide-ranging knowledge of English vocabulary covering a broad range of academic topics aswell as an understanding of the grammatical structure of sentences. The ability to make inferences, draw conclusions and identify a varied range of topics is also a prerequisite.
Undertake the official TOEFL exam with confidence having practiced and built upon the necessary skills of Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing as required for the TOEFL exam.
The course provides practice in the skills required for the paper-based and more importantly the computer- based TOEFL, in the four areas of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. It consists of a series of diagnostic tests to help identify the areas which may need extra practice and the reviewing of grammar and vocabulary specifically related to the test. There is also a series of practice tests in each of the four areas, given within the time limits imposed in the real test, to ensure good time management. It should be noted that the course is designed as a preparation course for the TOEFL Exam itself, and therefore the content is very much test based. There is a lot of work available using books from the library or information on different websites or on Iéseg online, but this is left up to the student to decide how or when to use it. The student will have an idea of the extra practice needed from the results of the work undertaken in class. Obligatory work on Iéseg online is also included.
