Teaching Academic English with the TOEFL iBT Test (TAE)

This multi-week online course helps you improve your skills and build curricula for teaching academic English. It gives you high-quality, practical content, emphasizing task-based language teaching (TBLT) and English for academic purposes (EAP).

The course combines the best of both theory and practice, including examples of how these concepts can be applied to designing English-language learning lessons and tasks to support students’ development of EAP in relation to the TOEFL iBT test. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to apply best practices in language teaching and receive materials that you can adapt for your own classroom. 

Learn at your own pace with 180 days of on-demand access to the Independent Study course format.

For detailed course information and pricing, and to enroll in TAE Independent Study, email TOEFLELT@ets.org.
