TOEFL Prep for Success |
What is the TOEFL Prep for Success?Linking Learning to Life’s TOEFL Prep course is an intensive program to build academic English language skills and to prepare students to successfully take the TOEFL exam (Test of English as a Foreign Language). The TOEFL exam evaluates the potential success of an individual to use and understand English in a college setting. How does the TOEFL Prep for Success work?The TOEFL Prep course is put on in collaboration with Saint Michael’s College. English Language Learners attend a 30 hour class spread out over 6 weeks taught by a Saint Michael’s professor at Burlington High School after school. Students learn to improve their reading, writing and listening skills, all of which are tested on the TOEFL. Students take a preliminary TOEFL exam, a midway assessment, and at the end of the course they take the official TOEFL exam free of charge. Why is it important?The TOEFL exam is now required of non-native English-speaking applicants at almost all English-speaking colleges and universities to ensure that they have the language skills necessary to succeed in college. As a supplement to the SAT, this exam is one of the primary college entrance exams for English Language Learners and is the gateway into post-secondary education for many immigrant and refugee youth. Our TOEFL Prep for Success helps prepare students specifically with this test, which is not something offered in their daily high school courses.
