The Internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (iBT TOEFL®) is the third version to roll out of the prestigious and well-known TOEFL administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS) in the United States. TOEFL is a common requirement for foreign students looking to gain entry into universities and colleges in the United States and many other English-speaking universities around the world.
The iBT version of the TOEFL represents an entirely new innovation in that it is completely administered and applied over the Internet, incorporates more in the way of integrated tasks and introduces a speaking component for the very first time. These factors bring new challenges to test-takers, but also great new opportunities! Given the Internet-based nature of the test, the Internet itself now provides a wealth of opportunities to explore and practice the relevant test-taking skills.
Presently OnlinEnglish.Net offers completely free versions of the speaking and writing sections of the iBT TOEFL. Students can join us online to see the tasks in action, listen to sample answers and feedback from tutors, and even submit their own answers for free score estimates and general feedback.
For us here at OnlinEnglish.Net, these free applications are just the start of what we expect to be an exciting range of online applications and resources to help students and teachers prepare for the iBT TOEFL!
In the near future, we will be looking to add:
Other great free test prep activities:
More online-based practice tests for the speaking and writing sections of the test
The very best collection of tips and tricks for mastering iBT speaking and writing
Teacher training for instructors looking to specialize in iBT TOEFL test preparation
Opportunities for teachers and schools to customize our test materials and use them in their own programs for computer lab based or fully online learning applications
Online collaborative speaking and writing clubs for students to meet and practice the iBT TOEFL together
