Only Study the English
that TOEFL Uses
Strictly English's
tutors only focus on the English you need for the Listening Section of the
TOEFL. For example, because almost every TOEFL lecture uses adverbials and
adverbial phrases to introduce an opposing point of view, we make sure that you
understand that grammatical pattern.
Improve your Knowledge
of Academic Content
The TOEFL listening
section has you listen to lectures and class discussions from various academic
subjects like biology, psychology, art history, geology, literature, etc. This
is why our Listening Package gives your close to 300 lectures on various
academic topics. These lectures will make you more confident when listening to
university lectures.
Strengthen your
Listening by Reading. Presenting, and Transcribing
Many people think that
the best way to improve your listening is to listen, listen, listen. And, yes:
this will help. But listening to English is just one of four ways to improve
your listening. In addition, we have our students read academic lecture, give
presentations on academic topics, and copy written versions of lectures.
Ear Training
Many students have
trouble understanding lectures and conversations because they are unable to
hear the words that native speakers of English either verbally contract
together or "swallow" when talking. Our ear training exercises help
you hear these verbal contractions and these swallowed words so that you will
have a better understanding of what you're listening to.
Explain Wrong Answers
It's not only important
to know which answer choice is correct. It is also very important to know why a
wrong answer choice is wrong. As we train you to explain why an incorrect
answer choice is wrong, you will strengthen your critical ability to answer
questions more quickly.
Write TOEFL Test
Questions
If you can begin
thinking like a TOEFL-test writer, then you'll be able to identify the tricks
and traps TOEFL puts into their answer choices. So we have you wr ite your own
TOEFL questions to various TOEFL lectures.
Align the TOEFL books
from easiest to hardest
Because some TOEFL
books are more advanced than others, Strictly English has sequenced the TOEFL
books on the market from easiest to hardest so that as your study of Listening
will become more challenging as you go.
