TOEFL® Test Preparation: The Insider’s Guide
Sunday, September 24, 2017 by Andre Kurkowski | TOEFL
Some of my students have been asking me about the TOEFL test, so I did some digging around and found a free self-paced course on edX.org. It was developed by the experts who create, administer and score the TOEFL test. For those of you who haven't heard of edX.org, it's a platform for free online courses from the best universities and institutions in the world — Harvard, MIT, UC Berkeley, Microsoft, Tsinghua University, The Smithsonian and more.
