Why You Need The TOEFL Core Course

The TOEFL exam assesses the English language proficiency of people who want to study in English-speaking environments. At WhyGo Academy we specialize in preparing students for the TOEFL Exam.

TOEFL is a task-based test which is likely different than the tests you might have taken in high school or university. Task based language assessment focuses on what learners are able to do with the English language as opposed to what they know about language. By focusing on tasks, the TOEFL Exam is able to accurately assess the language performance of a student.

The secret to scoring well on the TOEFL Exam is to understand the task and the type of answers that the examiner is looking for. That is where the TOEFL Core Course will help you. By the end of the course, you will understand the logic of the TOEFL, the particular skill that the exam is testing for and how to demonstrate your language proficiency.
