This site is dedicated to all things related to the Test of English for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Start early in your preparation and be consistent so you achieve the minimum score required to graduate. The purpose is to provide English language learners (ELLs) and instructors (who are also ELLs) support for preparing for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The primary goal is to provide support in listening, grammar, and reading sections of the paper-based TOEFL, but also includes areas of production in the areas of speaking and writing. Also, additional support will be provided for the four skills more relevant to the TOEFL iBT.
The TOEFL is required for English language learners who want to study in the United States. Refer to the table below, depending on the level of study (Lougheed, 1992).

Needs analysis: Typically, a diagnostics exam (i.e., listening, structure, and reading sections) is applied to help determine which area(s) to focus on first.

There are no plans during the spring 2025 semester (January-June 2025) to offer a TOEFL course, but there is a good chance that it will be offered again during the fall 2025 semester (i.e., August-November 2025).
