TOEFL Program
TOEFL is the most interesting course in the world and I love teaching it. During TOEFL classes you will learn about many many things like science, art, music, history, archeology, medicine, psychology, law, sociology just to name a few. TOEFL is like a mini-university class. In September 2005, the TOEFL will change so that there is a speaking section. It is my philosophy that in order to communicate in a language, you must also be able to SPEAK the language well, so in Global TOEFL class we do a lot of speaking in addition to listening, grammar and reading. Students who have taken Global TOEFL courses have scored as high as 260 with many students scoring around 235,237. In addition to having fascinating discussions about the course material, we share strategies to show you how to get your best score. If you come you will not just learn how to score well on the TOEFL test, but you will ENJOY TOEFL.

Course Objectives
The objective of the TOEFL program is to give students the knowledge and strategies to not just pass the TOEFL test, but to score well. The course is a two-month program, structured on extensive exercises: listening, structure, reading, writing, as well as oral skills (in preparation for new TOEFL format) are honed so students excel, not only on THE TOEFL TEST, but in first year university and college.

Rationale
Many students who pass the TOEFL test fail first year university or college because they lack the proper background to comprehend courses. Reading, listening, grammar and oral material is chosen to offer comprehensive background in many disciplines including but not limited to hard sciences, social sciences, humanities and fine arts. TOEFL is not just a test of English comprehension; otherwise, native English speakers would all get a perfect score. TOEFL tests memory, ability to come to conclusions, subtexts of dialogues and sometimes spatial abilities. In addition TOEFL is deliberately structured to mislead students with seemingly right but incorrect answers. Students who have worked hard have scored over 250 on the CBT TOEFL.

Classroom
Students are expected to attend structured classroom lectures Monday to Thursdays from 9-12. There is a break from 10:15 to 10:30 daily, except on Fridays when students will do a practice TOEFL exam using computers and the latest software.

Homework
There is no magic for TOEFL success. To receive a 10 point increase in a TOEFL test, students need to spend 100 hours in study. Students who neglect homework assignments or come to class sporadically will score poorly on the actual test. Daily homework assignments include grammar, reading and writing

Measuring Progress
Students will be able to monitor their progress weekly with practice computer tests.
