TOEFL(iBT) TEST SCORE!!

• Yu Kyung An – (2 terms = 102 IBT score)

Yu Kyung An entered the program after doing 2 months preparation in Korea. She had some problems reaching her required score of 100 to enter a Master’s Program at Lancaster University. She was especially concerned about her writing score, which was below her requirement. After two months of following advice and working hard, she got accepted for the Master’s program and is now studying Marketing Management.

• Jang Mi Lee – (3 terms = 89 IBT score)

Jang Mi Lee was not sure if she would ever get her desired score since her highest score was 68 after studying on her own a taking a 2 month course at another TOEFL program. We are pleased that we proved her to be wrong. She is now studying International project management in Florida and working part-time in the same field.

• Yoko Higuchi – (3 terms = 102 IBT score)

Yoko Higuchi only needed an 88 IBT score to enter a college in Toronto but she pushed harder to get a higher score and got accepted into Sheridan College with an entrance scholarship!

• Maria Flores – (2 terms = 110 IBT score)

Maria Flores was the wonder student the program. With no previous experience in TOEFL, she is in the top five scores in Cornerstone history!

• Karen Lopez – (3 terms – 98 IBT score)

Cornerstone was Karen’s third school for succeeding in TOEFL. In the past she was able to get as high as 67. In three terms, she improved, especially in the writing and speaking sections to get a higher score than she expected.

From the Teacher's Corner

  How did time pass so fast! The Advanced TOEFL program will be entering its 6th year at Cornerstone Academic College March 2008. We have had the pleasure of meeting new TOEFL students from the local and international market. It is thrilling to help students reach their goals and keep in touch with them as they get accepted into higher education institutions across Canada, USA and other countries. In fact, over the past three years, four of my TOFEL students have begun teaching TOEFL in their native countries such as Japan and Korea. This is really unexpected and I wish them luck and hope that they learned enough to keep on teaching!

Intermediate TOEFL

Material from each section of the test is practiced  3 or 4 times a week. The amount of time spent on each part will vary.

   At the start of the session, students learn about the structure of the test, and about the kinds of questions in each of the 4 sections of the test. Afterwards, the focus of the class is on studying and practicing the skills necessary to successfully answer the many different kinds of questions.

   Material from many textbooks is used. The only difference between the Intermediate TOEFL class and the Advanced TOEFL class is in the difficulty of the material that the students practice with. The material in the Intermediate class is not as hard, in terms of grammar, vocabulary and sentence structure, as the material in the Advanced class. The skills learned are the same. Homework is given each day, and taken up first thing the next morning. Students will get most from the class if they come everyday, do the homework, complete all of the writing assignments and participate actively in the speaking tasks.
