Section I: inlingua Language Schools
Part 1: inlingua’s Approach to TOEFL iBT Preparation
English instructors who successfully complete one of inlingua’s Professional Development Program
TOEFL iBT workshops will have their intranet record updated and will then be eligible to receive
TOEFL course assignments. However, in order to receive and keep those course assignments, all
approved TOEFL instructors must be thoroughly familiar with the standard instructional materials,
corresponding software, test administration procedures, and scoring rubrics. This includes having
completed at least one full-length simulated test before accepting your first assignment.
The following programs are provided through TLG The Language Group, LLC (Aventura, Boca
Raton, Brickell [Downtown Miami], Coral Gables, Doral, Key Biscayne, Tampa, Orlando, and Weston
centers) or TL2 Travel, Live and Learn, LLC (Fort Lauderdale center). The appointment terms
presented in the inlingua Language Schools Instructor Handbook (Information for Independent
Contractor Instructors: Handbook for Language Training and Test Preparation Tutorials) apply to
these programs. Please refer to the current edition of this handbook, which is available for download
on our website, for full details regarding scheduling and compensation.
Private or Semi-private Tutorial Programs
These programs are individually tailored to meet the unique needs of every student. However,
inlingua has developed three core programs specifically designed to address the learning
needs of students at different performance levels. Keep in mind that all programs can be
modified on a case-by-case basis to best serve the student’s individual test preparation goals.
Although inlingua promotes and recommends one of these three core programs, students can
purchase a unique package of units to meet their own needs (e.g., 42 units, 80 units, 100 units).
A summary is provided below, but please refer to the inlingua website or these documents for
additional information: About the TOEFL iBT, inlingua TOEFL iBT Course Outline, and
inlingua TOEFL Programs.
TOEFL 26 - Designed primarily for students who have already taken the test and come
close to achieving their target score or only need a practice and review course. This
program includes 26 units of test preparation instruction and two full-length diagnostic
tests (pretest and posttest).
TOEFL 50 - Designed primarily for students who need to build and develop the skills
and strategies needed for success on the test. This program includes 50 units of test
preparation instruction and two full-length diagnostic tests (pretest and posttest).
TOEFL 76 - Designed primarily for students who need to improve their English skills
and develop the skills and strategies needed for success on the test. This program
includes 76 units of test preparation instruction and two full-length diagnostic tests
(pretest and posttest).
1
Travel, Live and Learn (TL2) Test Preparation Programs (Open-Group Format)
TL2 TOEFL iBT programs are delivered in a group setting with a set class schedule and course
outline. Students can take either our 4-week or 8-week program. Both programs provide
students with open access to the inlingua Language Lab. Students enrolled in both programs
start every Monday, and the course outline is designed so that all students will receive a
complete test preparation program regardless of their start date. For additional information,
please refer to the inlingua website or the TL2 Group Test Preparation TOEFL iBT Course
Outline.
TL2 TOEFL (4 Weeks) - This program consists of 12 units per week (program total is
48 units). Classes are delivered Monday to Thursday from 1:45 PM to 4:00 PM. This
program also includes two full-length diagnostic tests (pretest and posttest).
TL2 TOEFL (8 Weeks) - This program consists of 12 units per week (program total is
96 units). Classes are delivered Monday to Thursday from 1:45 PM to 4:00 PM. This
program also includes two full-length diagnostic tests (pretest and posttest).
Part 2: Student Admission into a TOEFL Program
While all potential students are encouraged to apply for admission, inlingua will not admit an
individual who appears unlikely to benefit from a TOEFL test preparation program. Below is a
summary of inlingua’s approach to admission:
1. Ability to benefit from the program: The applicant must demonstrate the ability to benefit
from the program.
2. Language Proficiency: For inlingua TOEFL and TOEIC programs, applicants should
demonstrate high intermediate proficiency in English (equivalent to ILR level 2+ or
inlingua GPP level 3A). Applicants who have not yet reached the ideal level of proficiency
are encouraged to study in an inlingua English program either before enrolling in the
preparation course or at the same as the preparation course. Applicants may be required to
complete an English proficiency test administered by inlingua before being granted
admission to the program.
3. Age: There is no age requirement for admission to an inlingua private, semi-private, or
open-group test preparation tutorial.
As a result of our policy, all potential TOEFL students will be assessed for their current English
fluency level according to the inlingua language levels 1-5 before being admitted. The language
assessment will be conducted with the inlingua placement test and/or an oral evaluation (OPI).
Students who lack the minimum language fluency to perform well on the TOEFL and be admitted into
one of our preparation programs are encouraged to continue improving their English skills either by
enrolling in a tutorial English course (GPP, APP, or GPP elective) or an intensive English program
(GPIP or TL2). Ability to benefit from the program may also be determined by the student’s
performance on the full-length diagnostic pretest.
2
Part 3: Program Recommendation for Private and Semi-private Tutorials
In order to help transition a potential student into an enrolled student, we advertise our TOEFL iBT
preparation programs in various media. inlingua offers to the public the opportunity for an individual
to take a free full-length diagnostic test and receive a free sample class; as such, approved TOEFL
instructors can be scheduled to administer the diagnostic test and/or to give the sample class. inlingua
also offers a Higher Score Guarantee to individuals who purchase the recommended program (details
can be found on the website).
Upon administering a TOEFL diagnostic pretest, the instructor will complete the Student Diagnostic
Test Score Report and Analysis. The center administration trusts that the approved TOEFL instructor
will provide a detailed and honest program recommendation for the student. It is very important to
recommend exactly which inlingua program or programs (including number of units) the student will
need in order to achieve his or her desired score on the test. Do not factor in details such as the
student’s personal financial situation or need to take the test quickly. What the student purchases is
separate from what is recommended for the student to succeed. A very useful guide in understanding
what scaled section scores mean for each test section is the Official Guide to the TOEFL Test (Fourth
Edition) Appendix: Performance Feedback for Test Takers located on pages 637 to 653. This
information is very useful when recommending one of our TOEFL programs based on the student’s
test performance.
The majority of private and semi-private enrollments will be for 26, 50, or 76 units; however, in
exceptional cases, students may enroll in shorter programs (fewer than 26 lessons) or longer programs
(greater than 76 lessons) in order to meet their individual needs and learning objectives. Students may
also take a GPP course, APP course, or GPP Electives course (e.g., Academic Writing, Accent
Reduction, Say it Right!, etc.) concurrently with their TOEFL preparation course. Instructors can
include any of our other language training programs in their recommendation on the diagnostic score
report.
Part 4: Professional Fees for TOEFL Services
Instructors will receive a base rate of $15 per 45-minute unit* for the time spent providing these
TOEFL iBT preparation services:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Administering a diagnostic TOEFL pretest or posttest

Giving a TOEFL preparation sample class
Teaching private or semi-private TOEFL courses (subject to class cancellation policy)
Teaching TL2 TOEFL courses (not subject to class cancellation policy)
*In the unlikely case that a course is sold by the hour instead of by 45-minute units, your base rate will
be adjusted to $20 for any increment of 60-minute units taught.
Part 5: Instructional Resources for Tutorial TOEFL Programs
Based on the number of units purchased, students are given the following standard course materials:
For Programs of up to 50 units and the 4-week TL2 TOEFL Program
1. Cambridge Preparation for the TOEFL Test with CD-ROM

Every center has copies of these materials available for instructors to use during TOEFL preparation
courses. In addition, the center will provide instructors with access to the additional Cambridge
Preparation for the TOEFL Test Audio CDs, which are separate from the textbook.
Programs may utilize other preparation materials in addition to the standard materials listed here when
deemed necessary to help the student achieve his or her goals.
Important Note: The ETS Official Guide to the TOEFL Test is the only text we use that is produced
by the test maker. As such, it is the most accurate and reliable source of information to become
familiar with as a TOEFL preparation instructor. In addition to this book, you should become
thoroughly familiar with the content of the additional supporting resource from ETS: TOEFL iBT Tips.

About the TOEFL iBT
The Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet-Based Test (TOEFL iBT) measures the ability
of non-native speakers of English to use and understand North American English as it is employed
in college and university settings. Scores on the test are required by most colleges and
universities, professional schools, and some sponsoring institutions and professional organizations
in the United States. Scores are valid for two years and available through the Education Testing
Services website approximately 15 business days after test day (www.ets.org/toefl). The TOEFL
iBT takes about four hours to complete, and is administered on computer at pre-selected testing
sites.
The TOEFL iBT is divided into four sections, which always appear in the following order: Reading,
Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Note taking is allowed during all sections of the test and may be
used when answering questions. There is an optional ten-minute break between the Listening
and Speaking sections on the test. The TOEFL iBT is administered only on computer, and unlike
previous versions of the test, the TOEFL iBT includes a Speaking Section and expanded
Writing Section with integrated tasks that require the test taker to use more than one
language skill. Your combined performance on all four sections results in a single scaled score
ranging from 0-120 points. You will also receive separate subscores for each section ranging
from 0-30 points.

The student is pursuing higher education and would like a minimum score of 100 on his next test.
He will need test preparation with a focus on the speaking and writing sections, specifically in areas of
accent reduction, organization of ideas, utilization of concrete, persuasive examples in his written and
spoken responses, and utilization of more transition phrases to make his ideas flow smoothly.
Additionally, he will need to improve his reading comprehension skills in order to identify facts, make inferences,
and connect ideas together.
With all of the above in consideration, I am recommending an inlingua TOEFL preparation course of at least 50
units in order to bring his scores up to the ideal 25 per section.

There is a marked improvement in the Reading section score from his January test; however, the other section
scores did not increase enough. Although the score is higher, it is still not the desired 100. I suggest additional
practice for speaking, writing, and especially reading.
In regards to his Speaking section score, the main weakness was not in his pronunciation, in which there was
tremendous progress from his initial diagnostic TOEFL score, but in using advanced vocabulary.
If time permits, I suggest an additional 26 TOEFL preparation units.

Section II: inlingua English Schools
Part 1: Overview of the Advanced TOEFL iBT Preparation Program
The Advanced TOEFL iBT Preparation Program is an optional component of our general intensive
English programs (IEP) provided through IF Multicultural Interactive Solutions, LLC (Aventura,
Boca Raton, Brickell [Downtown Miami], Doral, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, and Weston
centers). The appointment terms presented in the inlingua English Schools Instructor Handbook
(Information for Independent Contractor Instructors: Instructor Handbook for Intensive English
Programs) apply. Please refer to the current edition of this handbook, which is available for download
on our website, for additional details regarding scheduling and compensation.
Only qualified IEP instructors who successfully complete one of inlingua’s Professional Development
Program TOEFL iBT workshops are eligible to teach IEP TOEFL course assignments. Some
exceptions may be made by the Director of Programs and Professional Development if the instructor
has prior training or experience. In order to receive and keep an IEP TOEFL course assignment, all
approved instructors must be thoroughly familiar with the standard instructional materials,
corresponding software, test administration procedures, and scoring rubrics. This includes having
completed at least one full-length simulated test before beginning the first assignment.
Part 2: Purpose and Description of the TOEFL iBT Courses
We created this optional component to meet the needs of a segment of our student population who
wish to strengthen their language skills beyond what is achieved through completion of the program.
Only students who have successfully completed a level 5 course (GPIP 5, TL2 English
Experience/Experience Plus 5, or TL2 Summer English Escape/Adventure 5) within their maximum
period of enrollment are able to enroll and be admitted into the optional Advanced TOEFL iBT
Preparation Program. We decided to utilize the TOEFL iBT resources because they provide us with a
reliable and valid measure of English fluency that is readily accessible, user friendly, and easily
incorporated into the classroom environment.
It is important to note that these courses do not consist of traditional test preparation instruction,
meaning the primary goal of these courses is not for students to achieve a particular score on the test in
order to pursue admission to a college or university; instead, the purpose of this course is to provide
our intensive English students an opportunity to improve their overall fluency in the four language skill
areas and receive quantitative measures of their improvement in those skill areas throughout the
course.
All students who successfully complete level 5 do not enroll in this optional component. Of those who
do opt to enroll, most but not all will complete the entirety of both academic terms. Thus, course
availability varies by campus and academic term.
12
General Purpose Immersion Program (GPIP)
The Advanced TOEFL iBT Preparation Program in GPIP takes two 12-week academic quarters
to complete and is comprised of two courses. In the first quarter (Part 1: Reading and Writing),
students will work on improving their reading comprehension skills and academic writing
skills. In the second quarter (Part 2: Listening and Speaking), students will work on improving
their note-taking skills, listening comprehension skills, and speaking skills. These courses are
designed to help the ESL students polish their advanced English skills in order to achieve a
successful score on the TOEFL iBT. Please refer to the GPIP Advanced TOEFL iBT
Preparation Program curricular sheets and course syllabi for additional information, including
student learning outcomes and assessment practices.
TL2 English Experience and English Experience Plus
The Advanced TOEFL iBT Preparation Program in TL2 English Experience/Experience Plus
takes two 13-week academic quarters to complete is comprised of two courses. In the first
quarter (Part 1: Reading and Writing), students will work on improving their reading
comprehension skills and academic writing skills. In the second quarter (Part 2: Listening and
Speaking), students will work on improving their note-taking skills, listening comprehension
skills, and speaking skills. These courses are designed to help the ESL students polish their
advanced English skills in order to achieve a successful score on the TOEFL iBT. Please refer
to the TL2 Advanced TOEFL iBT Preparation Program curricular sheets and course syllabi for
additional information, including student learning outcomes and assessment practices.
Part 3: Quarterly Assessment and Satisfactory Student Progress
The IEP TOEFL courses are ungraded; however, the courses do have student learning outcomes and
assessment procedures that must be adhered to. We expect students to adhere to the attendance policy,
participate in class activities, and complete the quarterly testing as indicated on the curricular sheet.
Students will receive a report card indicating their simulated TOEFL section-length test results,
simulated TOEIC score, and current proficiency level (OPI value). During the last week of the term,
the instructor must administer the appropriate computer-based, section-length tests for the course
(Reading and Writing or Listening and Speaking). It is not appropriate to administer a paper-based
version of the test for the final exam. Additionally, the instructor must complete a Student Diagnostic
Test Score Report and Analysis for each student in the class (the “Test Analysis and
Recommendations” section at the bottom is optional). The completed report for each student needs to
be presented to the center administration in order to be reflected on the student’s report card and filed
in the student’s permanent record.
Regardless of performance, students who complete the first course will progress to the second course
of the TOEFL component with no ability to repeat the same course. Please be aware that although the
TOEFL component is comprised of two parts, the sequence of the courses is not fixed. It is possible in
some locations for students to complete Part 2: Listening and Speaking before Part 1: Reading and
Writing with no negative impact on their learning outcomes.
Part 4: Instructional Resources for IEP TOEFL Courses
Students are given the following standard course materials:
13
1.
2.
3.
4.
Cambridge Preparation for the TOEFL Test with CD-ROM
ETS Official Guide to the TOEFL Test with CD-ROM
Barron’s TOEFL iBT Superpack
Princeton Review Cracking the TOEFL iBT with CD-ROM
At the beginning of the academic term, the TOEFL instructor will be provided a copy of each of these
instructional materials as well as the additional Cambridge Preparation for the TOEFL Test Audio
CDs, which are separate from the textbook, for his/her personal use for lesson planning and classroom
instruction for the duration of the term. These materials are lent to the instructor and should be kept in
good condition for return to the center at the completion of the course. If you would prefer to have
your own copies in order to write notes, lesson plans, and solutions in the materials, you are free to
purchase a copy at your personal expense.
In addition, students may also be provided a copy of the Pearson Longman book Writing Academic
English for use during Part 1 of the course (Reading and Writing). Please request this item from the
center director if you believe it is needed to reach the student learning outcomes.
Part 5: Supporting Documents

Section III: Standard Instructional Resources Usage Guide
Part 1: Using the Cambridge Preparation for the TOEFL iBT Text and CD-ROM
We are currently using the fourth edition of this publication. This standard course material comes in a
kit that includes a textbook with included CD-ROM. Additionally, there are eight audio CDs with the
audio files for the Listening, Speaking, and Writing practice content located inside the textbook.
Students normally receive just the textbook with included CD-ROM. Because this material is a
simulation of the real test and not produced by the test maker, please be aware that there are some style
and accuracy differences in the practice content. Specifically, the integrated writing tasks do not
accurately reflect the real structure that will be presented on the actual test and should be used
sparingly. In this case, it is very important to use the ETS resource in order to prepare the student for
this task.
Important Note: There is some overlap between the textbook and CD-ROM content.




The Diagnostic Test in the textbook = Test 1 on the CD-ROM (also uses as our pretest)
The Section Practice Tests in the textbook combined = Test 2 on the CD-ROM
Practice Test 1 in the textbook = Test 3 on the CD-ROM
Practice Test 2 in the textbook = Test 4 on the CD-ROM
CD-ROM tests 5, 6, and 7 are unique content and do not have any supporting information presented in
the textbook.
The CD-ROM provides scored sample essays for all independent writing tasks and scored sample
speaking tasks for all seven tests. The CD-ROM contains an answer key for each practice test that
explains the correct answers and refers you to skill-building exercises in the textbook.
Instructors are able to use and/or assign the textbook content and CD-ROM Tests 2-6 as they see fit.
Textbook
The textbook is organized to be useful both as a classroom text and for independent study. It is
the instructor’s responsibility to prepare each lesson and assign appropriate homework.
Even though the Speaking and Writing scoring rubrics are included in the Cambridge book,
you should only refer to the Official Guide to the TOEFL Test or TOEFL iBT Tips for scoring
rubrics that are published by the test maker, ETS. In order to generate a scaled section score
from the rubric subscores, you can refer to the TOEFL iBT Tips document published by ETS. A
reproduction of the conversion table is also published in the Cambridge text in the introduction
section page xxx (Roman numeral 30).
The textbook has exercises for language skill improvement and focused practice and strategies
for the questions and tasks on the four TOEFL sections.
Part 1: Building supporting skills such as vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar
Part 2: Building skills for the Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing test sections
Appendices: Answer keys, audio scripts, and index
27
CD-ROM
The software on the CD-ROM should already be installed on the computer designated for
TOEFL preparation; however, the application may require having the CD-ROM in the drive in
order to operate. Once the application is started, you can choose to create an account, log in to
an existing account, or log in as a guest. Accounts can be protected by a password if you desire.
If you choose to log in as a guest, you will not be able to save the test results. Check with the
center administration for log in (password) information for an existing account, if needed.
There are two modes on the CD-ROM.
Test Mode - Provides a realistic simulation of the TOEFL iBT and features:
i.
a microphone test at the beginning during general instructions
ii.
a seamless transition from one section to the next
iii. a built-in 10-minute break between the Listening and Speaking sections
iv.
automatically saved test results
Practice Mode - Can be used for skill building in a test-like environment and features:
i.
access to answers and explanations during or following the test
ii.
a text option to see the audio script while listening
iii. a section choice option that allows you to choose a particular test section one at a
time
iv.
a bookmark option to stop the program during a test and come back to the same
place later
The official inlingua pretest is Cambridge Test #1. (Must use Test Mode on CD-ROM)
The official inlingua posttest is Cambridge Test #7. (Must use Test Mode on CD-ROM)
To take a full-length practice test:
First, log in with an existing account for the student or register a new user for the student.
1. From the Main Menu, click on “TEST MODE”
2. Choose a test from #1 to #7 and click on “START”
3. Remain in the testing room while the student reads the instructions and completes the
microphone check so that you can answer any remaining questions and ensure that the
equipment is working correctly (general instructions and test are not timed)
4. Once the microphone check is completed, instruct the student to select “Continue” in
order to begin the test
5. As the student progresses through the test, check in periodically to make sure the
student has note paper.
To review and score a full-length practice test:
1. From the Main Menu, click on “MY SCORES & RESPONSES”
2. Write down the scaled score for the Reading and Listening sections on the diagnostic
score report (answers and explanations are available if you click on the section name)
3. Click on “Speaking” to access the student’s recordings (you can listen to sample
responses and read the rater’s comments for reference when rating your student)
28
a. Use the appropriate official ETS scoring rubric for each task and write the
subscore on the diagnostic score report (use the conversion table in the TOEFL
iBT Tips reference guide to generate a scaled score on the report)
4. Click on “Writing” to access the student’s responses (you can read a sample
independent response and the rater’s comments for reference when rating your student)
a. Use the official ETS independent writing task scoring rubric for each task and
write the subscore on the diagnostic score report (use the conversion table in the
TOEFL iBT Tips reference guide to generate a scaled score on the report)
To take a section-length practice test:
This software is not recommended for section-length practice tests because test mode is
seamless. This means that it is not possible to choose one section at a time or to skip past the
section without it playing through. Although individual sections can be selected in practice
mode, this mode must not be used for diagnostic section scoring because the timing is different,
students can move around the questions, answers and explanations are available the entire time,
and audio scripts can be read for all listening components.
Note: If you do desire to use this software for section-length tests (especially in the IEP
courses), it is functional to use it for a listening and speaking practice session. It is not
functional for a reading and writing practice session because of the amount of time lost trying
to skip through the other two sections. Skipping through the reading section is possible because
it is multiple choice (about 2-4 minutes). The listening section will play through each of the six
passages in their entirety (about 25-35 minutes), and you must answer each question to
progress through the section (about 5 minutes). The speaking section will play through
completely without needing to press anything (about 20 minutes). The integrated writing task
can be skipped only after the reading and listening time finishes (about 8 minutes). The
independent writing task can be skipped.
Part 2: Using the ETS Official Guide to the TOEFL Test Text and CD-ROM
We are currently utilizing the fourth edition of this publication. This standard course material comes in
a kit that includes a textbook with included CD-ROM.
Important Note: There is overlap between the textbook and CD-ROM content.
 Practice Test 1 in the textbook = Practice Test 1 on the CD-ROM
Instructors are able to use the textbook content and CD-ROM Tests 1, 2, and 3 as they see fit; however,
it is best to use the practice tests on the CD-ROM instead of in the book because it better simulates the
testing environment.

preparation; however, the application may require having the CD-ROM in the drive in order to
operate
To play audio files for the listening practice sets in the textbook, from the main menu hover
over Audio Tracks and select “Listening Practice Sets”. You will play the appropriate tracks
for each listening passage and question as prompted to in the textbook.
The practice test sections are independently timed and can be restarted at any time. The results
(i.e., raw point total) for a finished section will display for only the most recently completed
attempt. Restarting the section will remove the results, so make sure that you write down the
results somewhere before leaving. Remember that the computers are for public use and another
30
teacher or student may restart the section and replace the results before you return for the next
class with your student.
Usage Note: Within each test section, the practice tests do not automatically move from one
item to the next the way that they will on the actual test. The navigation requires the pressing of
the button “Next” very frequently, which does not simulate the test environment. Additionally,
the Reading Section does not have the review button that will be available during the real test.
Important Note: There is no built-in recording option for the Speaking Tasks; therefore, you
must use a separate recording device/software or rate the student at that moment in class.
From the Main Menu, hover the mouse over the desired Practice Test (1, 2, or 3) and then take
the sections in order.

To take a section-length test:
Although the timing and navigation of the sections on this software are somewhat difficult and
different from the actual testing environment, the content of the sections is extremely valuable.
This is especially true for the writing content.

Part 3: Using the Barron’s TOEFL iBT Text and CD-ROM
We were previously using the thirteenth edition of this publication; however, the fourteenth edition has
just been released, and we will begin implementing this version in all locations. The software is
improved in the fourteenth edition. This standard course material comes in a boxed kit that includes a
textbook, a vocabulary-building textbook, one CD-ROM, and ten audio CDs for the textbook listening
components. Because this material is a simulation of the real test and not produced by the test maker,
please be aware that there are some style and accuracy differences in the practice content. Specifically,
the integrated writing tasks do not accurately reflect the real structure that will be presented on the
actual test and should be used sparingly. In this case, it is very important to use the ETS resource in
order to prepare the student for this task.
Important Note: There is overlap between the textbook and CD-ROM content.

Model Tests 1-7 = Model Tests 1-7 on the CD-ROM
Model Test 8 is only found on the CD-ROM and does not have any supporting information presented
in the textbook.
Instructors are able to use the textbooks and CD-ROM as they see fit; however, it is best to use the
practice tests on the CD-ROM instead of in the book because it better simulates the testing
environment. Please be aware that the test structure description presented in the supplementary text
Essential Words for the TOEFL is inaccurate. Additionally, memorizing vocabulary words is not the
best strategy for overall improvement on the test. However, building vocabulary is good for improving
overall fluency.
Textbook
The textbook has exercises for language skill improvement and practice and strategies for the
questions and tasks on the four TOEFL sections.
Part 1 Orientation - Features a general overview and how to use the book
Part 2 Review of TOEFL iBT Sections - Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing
Part 3 Academic Skills - Taking Notes, Paraphrasing, Summarizing, and Synthesizing
Part 4 Model Tests - Model Tests 1-7
Part 5 Answers and Audio Scripts for Activities, Quizzes, and Model Tests 1-7
Part 6 Score Estimates
Part 7 Resources - reference to the ETS website, registration details, and glossary
Note: You should only refer to the Official Guide to the TOEFL Test or TOEFL iBT Tips for
Speaking and Writing scoring rubrics that are published by the test maker, ETS. In order to
generate a scaled section score from the rubric subscores, you can refer to the TOEFL iBT Tips
document published by ETS.
CD-ROM
The CD-ROM software should already be installed on the computer designated for TOEFL
preparation. The CD-ROM does not need to be in the drive in order to use the software. Once
34
the application is started, you can select from an existing user (then select the option to “Start
from the beginning” or “Continue from the last question you completed”) or create a new user
by entering a name. After you have made a selection, click on “GO”.
Note: Before exiting the program, be sure to save your work so that it will be available for
future sessions.
There are two modes on the CD-ROM:
Test Mode - Provides a simulation of the TOEFL iBT and features:
i.
a mostly seamless transition from one section to the next
ii.
automatically saved test results in the Reading and Listening sections
iii. built-in recording software for the Speaking section
 After each task recording timer runs out, a save window will appear
 Each task must be individually saved before moving on to the next task (save to
the default location or select an alternative file location for you to access it for
review)
Practice Mode - Can be used for skill building in a test-like environment and features:
i.
access to answers and explanations during or following the test
ii.
a text option to see the audio script while listening
iii. a section choice option that allows you to choose a particular test section one at a time
First, select an existing user and start from the beginning or create a new user for the student.
2. Choose a test from #1 to #8 and click on “All Sections”
3. As the student progresses through the test, check in periodically to make sure the
student has note paper. It is important to press “continue” at the end of each section to
move on to the next one
4. The optional 10-minute break between Listening and Speaking is not included and you
must time the student by other means
5. All speaking tasks must be individually saved, unlike a real test administration, be
prepared to assist students with saving the files
6. All writing task responses must be individually saved before continuing on to the next,
be prepared to assist students with saving the files
Administration Note: If any individual test section has been completed in Test Mode, then
those answers will feed into a full-length administration of that same test number in Test Mode
when “All Sections” is selected. Instructors should plan ahead so that there will be completely
untouched practice tests available for later use as a full-length practice test. Additionally, the
instructor should not pre-teach this content in Practice Mode or from the textbook.
Usage Note: There is no way to access the saved Speaking and Writing task files from the
software. It is very important that you remember where you save the files on the computer so
that they can be evaluated later in order to generate a score report.
