Course description

This course is for students who would like to improve their score on the TOEFL® test. Participants follow an assigned schedule by which they learn TOEFL® skills through studying lectures, doing exercises, taking practice TOEFL® tests, and receiving instructor feedback.

The course takes place in a computer lab located in the school building. The computer lab is equipped with computers, a printer an HDMI cord, and a CD player. Students are required to purchase textbooks for the course they are taking.

Course Learning Outcomes

The objectives of this course are to improve each student’s oral, writing, listening and reading skills and to improve their test score on the TOEFL® iBT. Each week students will monitor their progress by taking a practice test. After the practice test, class time is used to teach and practice academic skills. Students will think, answer, compare, and discuss each question to further their academic knowledge.

Students will have to demonstrate their ability to integrate the language skills by completing tasks similar to those that they will be expected to accomplish in academic settings. They will have to speak and write at high levels of proficiency. Therefore, this class focuses on academic English in all modalities - reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Four main areas of academia are studied: the Natural Sciences, Applied Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities.

Upon successful completion of this course, students should have a good understanding of all skills (listening, reading, writing, and speaking). They will demonstrate their abilities by successfully completing the TOEFL® iBT exam with a high score. In this way, the students are thoroughly prepared to gain admission

Testimonial

I contacted a few centers but nobody was ready to offer a one month class. Then finally I saw Rosemead College (RC) on the internet. I contacted the admissions office and the student counselor told me about their four week classes.
