We've come a long way dear TOEFLers! It's been an amazing year with lots of excitement, new experiences, some disappointments, puzzling situations, great ideas, ... learning, learning, learning 24/7!
I strongly believe the new TOEFL is a breakthrough in EFL/ESL assessment since it really focuses on the development of integrated communication skills and critical thinking, resembling real life academic situations. Therefore, a TOEFL prep course should foster authentic interaction, knowledge sharing and collaborative learning.
I've tried to find some images to help us reflect on our learning process. How would you describe the TOEFl iBT Prep courses (regular and blended)? As a puzzle, a building process, a bridge, a race against time?
What do you think? Can you find your own metaphors for the TOEFL iBT?
i'm not too good with metaphors, it's been great, period
ReplyDeletei've really enjoyed it
we have another engineer in the toefl class (right on time), so wednesday after the feedback we all go for pizza or whatever
