The Lington Academy TOEFL Preparation Course is designed to equip students with the essential knowledge, language proficiency, and test-taking strategies required for success on the TOEFL iBT and university entrance examinations.
In the initial phase of the course, students will strengthen their core grammar and vocabulary skills, which serve as the foundation for high-level performance on the TOEFL test. These skills will then be applied to a variety of authentic TOEFL-style tasks, enabling students to practice under realistic exam conditions while refining their strategies and techniques.
In addition, students will enhance their academic language competencies, such as paraphrasing, summarizing, note-taking, and vocabulary development, which are crucial for both test success and future academic studies in English-medium universities.
