Last evening one of my adult students has asked me information about this exam. He has already passed the FCE exams some years ago and now he is interested in sitting this exam. The point is that I have little information about it. I don �t know the differences about both exam layout. I know I can easily download loads of books to get practice for the TOEFL test but I would rather you share your invaluable experience and information with me. Which books do you use to prepare your students for doing the TOEFL exam?

 

Thanks in advance for your time and help.  

Cambridge updates very often its book for students with true previous exams and you can have the book with the keys and the CDs for the oral part.

Just type TOEFL books  Cambridge on your screen and you will see that there are the usual titles about the exam itself and books about preparation with explained exercises (grammar points explained) more targeted.

 

The best is to choos in the Cambridge range about the exam you are to sit for.

hope I will help.

I sat for the TOEFL exam in February. It �s important to know that there �re different formats (Paper-based/Computer-based/Internet-based) and they are all different as regards score and types of exercises. I took the Internet-based one (Toefl IBT) and I found plenty of material in the net. The exercises available are really useful and challenging. To be honest, the exam format and the English level, at least when it comes to the IBT choice, is quite different from the FCE format, so your student will have to undergo a different kind of training. 

You can try this link where u will find relevant information about the test

 

GOOD LUCK!!!

I have been teaching TOEFL for the last two years in Ontario Canada.

We use the Complete Guide to the TOEFL test ibt version by Bruce Rogers.

We have had a lot of succes using this book.

There are many others on the market.

The test is designed to measure the English language ability of people who do not speak English as their mother tongue and who plan to study at colleges and universities in North America.

TOEFL is a very important test in North America.

There are about 5000 colleges and Universities and other academic institutions in the United States and Canada that require students to supply test scores of TOEFL as part of the admission process.

It is meant to measure a students proficiency in English at an academic setting.

Hope this helps you.

 

 

 

You will also find a lot of exercises on the internet. Here is a great website that I use with students to practise for their TOEFL iBT exam. The speaking section is excellent. It contains exercises for all six types of speaking questions including integrated reading and listening.  I �m sure you will find it very helpful!

 

 

Have a nice day!
