How each lesson works
Every task lesson follows the same steps. You start with a short check so you know where to focus, learn the point in small cycles with practice after each one, then use it on real TOEFL-format questions: first with a coach, then on your own under test conditions.
The steps of a task lesson
Step
What you do
Brief
The English point and the task skill in plain words, and what you will be able to do by the end.
Quick check
A few questions before any teaching, to find where to focus.
Teaching cycles
Two English cycles and one task-skill cycle, each with teaching pages and drills that build to test level.
Word bank
Ten words and phrases from the lesson’s own question sets, each with a recall drill.
Apply
A walk-through on real course questions with coach notes, then guided practice with hints.
Check
New questions under test conditions.
Debrief
Every mistake linked to the cycle that teaches it, and one takeaway to keep.
Course outline
Modules follow the order of the test. Open any lesson to see what it teaches, its outcomes and its full word bank.
Inflections (regular and irregular plurals, third-person -s, past tense and its spelling, -ing and -ed participles), the -ing form after a preposition, phrasal verbs and fixed partners, and as ... as comparisons
Condition and exception connectors (unless, provided that, as long as, only if, except) and time limits (by, no later than, within, prior to, at least … ahead)
Problem and solution language in campus and service talk: stating a need, naming an obstacle, proposing a fix and committing to a next step (the thing is, what if we, I'd better)
Common conversational idioms and reactions: strong agreement, trying without a guarantee, holding back, making the best of it, sarcasm and understatement
Announcement language: purpose signals (please note, just a reminder, no need to worry), change passives (has been relocated, is being refinished), time frames (effective Monday, until further notice) and audience frames (Attention + group, If you're…, Those of you who…)
Obligation, advice and no obligation (must, need to, are asked to, you'll want to, don't have to, don't bother); conditions, steps and consequences (if, unless, once, after, or, and then)
Hearing numbers, clock times and quantities (-teen versus -ty, a quarter to, ten to five, up to, at least, three or four); sequences, limits and changes (by, until, after, from … until, instead of, rather than, moved to, moved up, pushed back)
Lecture signposting: signal phrases that open the topic, move to a new part, introduce an example, mark the key point, restate it, and point to what comes next (let's turn to, what this means is, the key point)
Spoken markers for examples (say, take, for instance), definitions (what we call, which just means, that is), causes and results (because, so, that's why, the reason is, which means) and contrasts (but, though, whereas, actually, on the flip side)
Stance and attitude language: stance adverbs (surprisingly, admittedly, unfortunately, remarkably, frankly), evaluative words (clever, elegant, crude, a bit of a stretch), stance frames (what's remarkable is, the clever part is, I'm not convinced that, admittedly … but) and hedges (probably, may, it seems)
Direct question formation with do/be/have and modals; the verb form each auxiliary demands; tense and aspect in questions; tag questions; negative inversion; How come with statement order
Statement word order inside questions that begin Do you know / Could you tell me / Do you have any idea: wh- words and phrases, if and whether, and the tense moving from do/does/did onto the verb
Agreement with long subjects (each of, the number of, everyone who); verb and adjective complements (want someone to, have to + base, worth -ing); modifier placement (phrases after the noun, adjective order, intensifiers)
Relative clauses (who, whom, that, which, and what meaning the thing that); real and imagined conditions (will / would, if it weren't for, Would it be okay if I + past); purpose clauses with so that + can/could
Email register (greetings, sign-offs, requests and word choice for formal and informal readers); stating the purpose in the first lines; closing with a next step
Explaining with reasons, results and specific detail; polite proposals and requests (How about ‑ing, You could, I'd suggest ‑ing, Would you mind ‑ing, I'd appreciate it if you could) and softening them for a friend
Correcting a misunderstanding politely (facts, not blame); concise sentences (cutting filler, one idea per sentence); proofreading the errors that blur meaning
Fluency devices and self-correction (let me think, I mean, or rather, describing a missing word); broader-opinion language (generalizing with care, naming causes and trends, the real issue isn't … it's …)
Most also require the GRE, which ETS administers alongside the TOEFL. Our GRE course covers Verbal and Quant in full, with adaptive practice tests and instant scoring.
All twelve task types on the 2026 TOEFL iBT, in test order: Complete the Words, Read in Daily Life and Read an Academic Passage; the four Listening tasks; Build a Sentence, Write an Email and the Academic Discussion; and Listen and Repeat and Take an Interview. Two orientation lessons open the course and two test-day lessons close it.
Each lesson takes about 25 to 60 minutes, and the 41 lessons add up to roughly 35 hours. You can take them in order or go straight to the module for the task you find hardest.
Yes. One full lesson from each section is free with no account: Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking. The free versions include every teaching page, all the drills, the word bank and a walk-through on a real course question.
Speaking and Writing practice is timed (7 minutes for the email, 10 for the academic discussion, and a practice window for each spoken answer). You then compare your response with a model answer, an annotated walk-through and the scoring rubric, and check it against a list of what a strong answer does. Reading and Listening practice is scored automatically.
Yes. It was written for the TOEFL iBT format introduced in January 2026, including the adaptive Reading and Listening sections and the 1–6 band scale.
