At the Boston Academy
of English, we offer a TOEFL™ test-preparation
program that helps you to bridge the gap between general English
language knowledge and recognized acceptance of your abilities
by potential post-secondary schools (Colleges and Universities)
and employers.
Many students learning English know that strong
English skills alone are not enough to guarantee success TOEFL™.
To succeed on this test, students need specialized skills and
strategies based on the test itself.
Our preparation
class is designed specifically for non-native speakers
of English and offers you a comfortable yet challenging study
environment. This unique program focuses on learning test-taking
skills and strategies that you need to score well on the TOEFL™
exam. Boston Academy of English is one of the only schools in
the Boston area with a test preparation program specifically
targeted to each area of the TOEFL™.
About the test
The
TOEFL™ iBT assesses all four basic language skills, including
speaking. The reading and listening portions of the test employ
more first-year university level material than was previously
the case.
