Class Description
• Class Goal: To prepare students for two different TOEFL exams.
• Exam One: Paper-based test.• Exam Two: Internet –based Test (IBT)
Just how different is the IBT version of the TOEFL Test?
• The IBT is quite different from the paper versions of the TOEFL Test. Some things are quite similar, but there are quite a few major differences.
• First of all, there is no longer a Structure section on the test, and a new Speaking section has been added in its place.
• Then, there are integrated tasks, tasks that test several language skills together; a test-taker may need to, for example, read a passage and take notes on it, listen to a passage and take notes on it, and then write or speak about the ideas in the two passages.
• Finally, there are new kinds of passages and questions on the iBT; the passages are longer and more difficult, and the new questions test higher-level skills.
• Overall, the iBT is quite a change from earlier versions of the TOEFL Test.
