Excellent Preparation for the TOEFL® Test

Along with our many resources for English language learners, GSU also offers a TOEFL® test preparation course designed for students intending to take the TOEFL iBT® exam.  This course is offered through our School of Extended Learning and is open to anyone.  The TOEFL iBT® exam is used for admission into American colleges or universities and evaluates the four core language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Our TOEFL® test preparation course will help you to score better on the exam by teaching key test-taking strategies and ways to improve your performance under time limits.  During the course, you have the opportunity to take a complete practice TOEFL iBT® test.  As part of the course offering, students have access to the TOEFL® Online Prep Course.   

According to the Educational Testing Service (ETS), a nonprofit organization and administrator of the TOEFL iBT® exam, over 9,000 colleges, agencies and other institutions in more than 130 countries accept TOEFL scores.  ETS explains that the “TOEFL test helps prove you have the English skills you will actually use in an academic classroom.  In the test, you may read a passage from a textbook and listen to a lecture and then speak or write in response, just like you would in a classroom.  Because the test is composed of 100% academic questions and tasks, many universities consider it the most appropriate test to use when making admissions decisions.” 

Once students have completed the course, they will be able to register for the next upcoming TOEFL iBT® exam.  Governors State University is an ETS Authorized TOEFL iBT® Test Center.
