TOEFL Preparation

Shafston provides full time, 10 week TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) exam preparation for students at Intermediate, Upper Intermediate and Advanced levels of English.
The TOEFL test is accepted as an admission requirement by universities and colleges in Canada and the USA. It is also accepted for university admission in Australia and the United Kingdom.
The course prepares students in TOEFL test taking skills for: reading, listening, grammar and writing.

The TOEFL has three sections:
Listening Comprehension;
Structure and Written Expression; and
Reading Comprehension.
The Listening Comprehension section tests the student’s ability to understand English as it is spoken in the USA and Canada. The Structure and Written Expression section tests your ability to recognise standard written English. The Reading Comprehension section tests the student’s ability to understand passages on non-technical subjects.

An integral part of the TOEFL course is teaching students the key testing points. Students are taught to learn to recognise testing points rather than simply answering individual questions. Students are taught strategies which enable them to take the real test and succeed.
Students are taught strategies for the paper-based test, as well as for the computer-based test, so that there is familiarity with both.

In addition to teaching the specific test strategies for the TOEFL test, the course highlights the importance of learning and understanding new items of vocabulary. Another key and essential part of the program focuses on improving listening skills so students are prepared for the listening section of the test.

Tests are held in Brisbane at a test-centre in the city. We can assist you to register for the exam.
