Hello TOEFLers,

Finally, my TOEFL iBT Newsletter is web functional.  My teaching TOEFL iBT Online has begun, and I now have a community of TOEFLers  at my TOEFL iBT Newsletter site.  Welcome everyone!  However,  a teacher is  only as good as his students, right?  So, you have to help me be a better teacher.

At the bottom of this post is a “reply” option.  Click on the link and ask a TOEFL iBT question relating to any one of  TOEFL iBT areas: vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, reading, listening, writing, and speaking.  Frame your question within the context of the TOEFL iBT either as preparation questions such as “How do I best prepare for the reading section of the TOEFL?”  or as test-taking strategy questions as “How do I answer inference questions on TOEFL iBT reading?”

Try to be a specific as possible in your questions,  so I can help you as much as I can.  The following are examples of unhelpful and helpful questions:

Unhelpful:  Can give me some writing details?

Helpful:  How do I create sharply-focused thesis statements for the independent writing task on the TOEFL iBT?

The deadline for you to post your question below  is April 10, 2009.  After that date, I will take at least 10 questions and answer them in a video.  The video will be posted at my TOEFL iBT Newsletter site within two weeks from today.  I look forward to hearing from you!
