Who it is for
Who this course is for
These four groups describe the people already on this course. If none of them quite fits you, that is fine — the consultation is there to say which course does.
Starting to look at studying in the US
You know the university asks for TOEFL, but not yet what the paper contains or how long it runs.
Coming across from IELTS
The two papers differ in task type, in marking, and in the fact that TOEFL is taken entirely on a computer.
New to academic material
You handle everyday English but struggle once a university lecture starts.
Preparing early
You have a year or two before applications and would rather start from the foundations.
Outcomes
What you come away with
Not the syllabus listed a second time, but what is left once the course has finished.
You know what the current paper asks
Two reading passages, three lectures and two conversations, four speaking tasks and two writing tasks — as the paper is set today.
You can take notes while listening
Note-taking underpins both the listening section and the three integrated speaking tasks; it is trained from this course on.
You are comfortable working on screen
Typing to a clock and speaking into a microphone on a countdown — what costs marks on a first attempt through unfamiliarity rather than ability.
A base of academic vocabulary
Words grouped by the subjects lectures return to: natural science, history, the arts, economics.
Syllabus
What you study
Everything the course covers, grouped. The order and the weight of each part are adjusted after each student's entry test.
Academic foundations
- Grammar and sentence structure in academic register
- Vocabulary by common lecture subject
- Reading short academic passages
First steps in Reading and Listening
- The two reading passages and their question types
- Lectures and campus conversations
- Note-taking while listening — the base of the three integrated speaking tasks
First steps in Speaking
- The independent task: stating and defending a choice in very little preparation time
- The three integrated tasks: read, listen, then report back
- Speaking into a microphone on a countdown
First steps in Writing
- The integrated task: setting the reading against the lecture
- Writing for an Academic Discussion — the task that replaced the old independent essay
- Typing to a time limit
How we teach
The six steps behind every Wobridge course
These six steps apply to every course we run, on every programme. What changes from course to course is how much weight each step carries — noted directly under the list.
Entry assessment
A test across all four skills before placement, so we know where a student stands and what is missing.
Learning path
The target broken into stages with checkpoints, rather than a single number waiting at the end of the course.
Practice
Every lesson includes work done in class; theory never occupies a lesson on its own.
Feedback
Writing and speaking marked against the assessment criteria of the exam being prepared, with each fault attached to a named criterion.
Progress tracking
Results are recorded skill by skill through the course, so it is visible which part is moving and which is not.
Mock test
A paper sat in the real format and to the real timings, then talked through afterwards.
