Comprehensive Content and Strategies for the TOEFL
The TOEFL iBT consists of four main sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. Each section assesses your academic English skills from a different angle.
The Reading Section
This section tests your ability to understand academic texts, identify main ideas, catch details and infer the author’s purpose. In British Institute’s TOEFL preparation lessons, we work on types of text from different academic disciplines, expand your vocabulary and teach strategies to increase your reading speed. Techniques such as analysing paragraph structure, identifying key words and making inferences are critical to your success in this section.
The Listening Section
The listening section measures your ability to understand university lectures, campus conversations and dialogues. Note-taking techniques, filtering key information and understanding the speaker’s intention are important skills in this section. Our teachers help you strengthen your listening skills through exposure to a variety of accents and speaking speeds. With realistic listening materials, we aim for you to adapt fully to the exam environment.
The Speaking Section
In the speaking section, considered one of the most challenging sections of the TOEFL, your ability both to speak independently on a topic and to give synthesised answers based on reading and listening materials is assessed. Speaking fluency, pronunciation, grammatical accuracy and variety of vocabulary are important. At British Institute, we place special importance on developing speaking skills. Thanks to regular practice, work on model answers and instant feedback from teachers, you make visible progress in your speaking ability. With practice that simulates the real exam environment, you learn to overcome your nerves and express yourself confidently.
The Writing Section
In the writing section, you are asked to write two different types of essay: independent and integrated. In the independent essay, you need to present your own ideas and arguments on a given topic, while in the integrated essay you are expected to create a piece of writing by synthesising a text you have read and a lecture you have listened to. Our expert teachers at British Institute guide you on topics such as effective argument development, paragraph organisation, variety of vocabulary and grammatical accuracy. The essays you write are examined in detail, and you receive constructive feedback on the areas you need to improve.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the TOEFL exam cost in TL?
Although the TOEFL exam fee changes from time to time, it is generally in the range of 200-250 US dollars. For up-to-date fee information, you are advised to visit the official TOEFL website of ETS (Educational Testing Service).
Is IELTS or TOEFL harder?
The difficulty of IELTS and the TOEFL depends on the candidate’s personal language skills and familiarity with the exam format. While the TOEFL iBT is entirely computer-based, IELTS (Academic or General Training) has both computer-based and paper-based options and a face-to-face speaking test. Some candidates find the academic focus and integrated tasks of the TOEFL more challenging, while others may find the IELTS speaking test or listening/reading format harder. As British Institute offers preparation for both exams, you can talk to our experts to decide which suits you best.
What is B2 on the TOEFL?
Although there is no direct and exact match between TOEFL scores and CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) levels, according to the generally accepted approach, B2 level (upper-intermediate) corresponds to roughly 72-94 points in the TOEFL iBT. However, this range may vary according to the expectations of the institutions accepting the score.
What kind of exam is the TOEFL?
The TOEFL iBT (Internet-Based Test) is a computer-based exam that measures academic English proficiency through four core skills.
