  2. ClassDescription • Class Goal: To prepare students for two different TOEFL exams. • Exam One: Paper-based test. • Exam Two: Internet –based Test (IBT)

  3. 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.
