Any teacher can weave a little magic in the classroom and become a terrific TOEFL teacher!

My four years experiences of TOEFL tell me the seven basics to becoming a good TOEFL teacher:

1.Preparation

In your first class, to give your students a feel for what they are aiming for, a practice test is a good idea.

2.Plan Your Lesson Backwards!

Planning your TOEFL class backwards means that you can effectively go through the class, work from the aims, and then work the necessary steps, activities and exercises in order for the students to reach those aims and objectives.

3. Know Your Subject!

If you can, try to take a few practice TOEFL tests on either the internet or even your language center may have a copy of the software that you can use in a demo mode.

4.Note Taking

Successful TOEFL students are good note takers.

5. Structure is king!

Like all English proficiency examinations, students must be aware of the structure that must be given in their answers.

6. Teach them to use their psychic abilities

7. Practice, Practice, Practice!

The teacher should give writing tasks to be completed for homework.
