Hi John,

I have taught ESL and TOEFL for a couple of decades and I believe I have figured out a thing or two about what's most important.

Above all, because the TOEFL iBT does a relatively accurate job of assessing a student's university-level English ability, the most helpful approach is to look beyond just the standard test prep books (which have limited utility) and include a lot of fundamental academic-English building in your program.

Best of Luck,
