Through the study of week 1, I learned a lot about the TOEFL test , its structure, test form, time requirement and so on. In addition, I know the main teaching content and teaching plan of this course. I think I can improve my English skills well through this course.
Taiking about the differences between TOEFL and IELTS,I think TOEFL really requires a high level of listening, but IELTS oral English should have a higher level of comprehensiveness and adaptability than TOEFL.Besides,IELTS is mainly suitable for students who want to study in Commonwealth countries, while TOEFL is suitable for students who want to study in North American countries.
I begin to learn detailed rules and contents about TOEFL in week 1.Additionly, I have gotten detailed information about four sections TOEFL® Test. I can recognise diffierence between TOEFT and IELTS
The followings are diffierences.
First , TOEFL is more acadmic than IELTS.
Second, the time and place of test is different.
Third,There are many differences in the Scoring system of them .
Having learned the curses in Week1 , I have knowen that TOEFL is an exam organised by the UK, while IELTS is an exam organised by the US. Their certificates are recognized worldwode.
Next, the full score of TOEFL is 120,while IELTS is 9.
Last,the test ways of both are different.IELTS test maybe a little difficult than TOEFL test.
In the week 1 classes, I learned more specific information about TOEFL test. For example, the test have four fractions including reading, listening, speaking and writing part. And you have three hours in total to work it out with also ten breaking time. What's more, I knew how the TOEFL test is made probably.
The TOEFL test and IELTS have differences in the institution who set the tast, the exam methods, the exam time and the score application. Besides, there are also differences in the score distribution and different kinds of applicable people.
They differ in two aspects,first one is dictation,TOEFL is closer to dailylife,but IELTS is more professional.Second one isreading,the former is mainly about science topic and the latter covers every aspect.
After the first week's course, I have learnt that TOFEL, also called test of English as a foreign language, plays a important role if someone is willing to go abroad for further study. What's more, I have learnt what the exam is composed of.
The difference between TOFEL and IELTS are as follows:
1. IELTS is mainly recognized by European countries such as Britain, while TOFEL is mainly focus on those who'd like to study in northern American countries.
2. The content of IELTS is more life-oriented, containing many life scenes. But TOFEL is more acdemic.
3. The full mark of IELTS is 9 while the full mark of TOFEL is 120.
I have learned about many information and test procedure of TOEFL.Additionally I gradually realize the importce of good English standard.Also,here are some diffeces between TOEFL and IELTS.Firstly,IELTS's listenning is more academical while TOEFL is more close to our dalily life.Secondly,in terms of reading contents,IELTS covers multiple fields but the other mainly tells scientific topics.Besides,as for the speaking tests,people speaks to people in the TOEFL test.But people speak to computer in the IELTS test.Lastly,their full marks are also different.
After finishing the courses in week 1,I have learnt what TOEFL it is and how to pass the test.
There are plenty of different between TOEFL and IELTS.For example, IELTS's reading covers all aspects, while TOEFL focuses on science topics. IELTS'S dialogue is that people communicate with computer,while TOEFL's is person talk with person.
After the study of week one,I have known more about TOEFL. The form of the TOEFL test is different from the IELTS test. And they organized by different examination institutions. I have known there are four sections of the TOEFL test ,listening, speaking, reading and writing. What's more, each of which focuses on one language skill.
Whether it is IELTS or TOEFL, it is a platform for us to study abroad. What we should do is to pay more attention to improving our English ability.
I have learned about some specific process of toefl test, knowing it includes four sections: reading, listening, speaking and writing. More deeply, througout this learning,I think I get to know the core ability the test want us to master. I think I will pay more attention to the English language logic, and critical thinking ability.
Based on my research, the IELTS test's scores is different from TOEFL and the time to test is different.
and the two test's degree of recognization is different,in England and some European country,IELTS may be more acceptable, but in American country,TOEFL is authority.
After finishing the coure of week 1,Ihave learned a lot about the TOEFL® Test,for example,the content the test has,the time it gives us for prepare,the counties we can go with it ,The differences betweenTOEFL and IELTS are listed below .First,the places admitting the TOEFL or IELTS are diffrent .Second,the content they stress are diffrent as well.One is more related to our daily life ,and the other choose the academic articles
From the learning of week 1, I know the general rules of TOEFL and details bring a great many benefits to me. In the daily life, we often talk about IELTS, when mention TOEFL. Therefore, I want to share some differences with you.
Firstiy, in the matter of institution of setting a question,the institutions which take charge of IELTS are the British Council、CUCLES and IDP Education Australia while Educational Testing Service is in charge of the topic of TOEFL. When turning to the max score, the total score of TOEFL is 120.Yet the max score of IELTS is 9. Moreover,the expense of taking TOEFL test is less expensive than taking IELTS test. However,the TOEFL takes more time which takes about 4 hours. Many guys talk about that there are also great differences in the content of the examination. Yes, I admit it, but for me, they both are hard! HAHAHAHA.....
After learning the courses of Week One,I feel a bit difficult for me to pass TOEFL.But I will try my best to learn the following courses and master more knowledge about TOEFL.I think my English level will rise soon.What's more,I will make more friends in the classes.Besides,IELTS is for work but TOEFL focus on ability testing so TOEFL is the symbol of good English level.
I learned about the detailed process of the TOEFL exam and its importance from Week 1. After a rough research, I found two mind differences between TOEFL and IELT'S.
First, they have different examination system. In particular, they have different full mark, different oral test and different examination time.
Second, they are applicable to different situations. They have different approbation degree in the sane country.
In the first week of MOOC, I learned the relevant rules and regulations of the TOEFL test, and had a preliminary understanding of the TOEFL test. The content of this week's course is to give me a preventive injection, in case I am caught off guard when I see the TOEFL test questions in the future. All in all, I've learned a lot this week, which is very useful.
1.In week 1,I learn about the course directory brifly and introduce myslfe.More important,I learn about TOEFL Test in detail.
2.Contray with TOEEFL and IELTS,i find the differences follow as:
1).Their total socore is different.The TOEFL Test total socore is 120 but IELTS is 9.
2).Institutional recognition is different.TOEFL is more widely.
3).The form of examinzation is different. TOEFL IBT,but IELTS have interview with techer.
ect.
the course in week 1 makes clear the components of TOEFL and theirs duration. Considering that there a six-month course for TOEFL guidance, I can see the obvious importance of it. However, the thing really matters is the English skill. Though the test can reflect one’s level, we should pay more attention to the improvement of English skill than just to the test score.
Speaking of the difference between TOEFL and IELTS, it’s said that TOEFL is more academic, while IELTS emphasizes more on the utility.Also, as they are organized by different groups, some countries may not accept the other test core. So it’s sensible to choose the right test according to the campus’ location one admires.
I have learnt the basic information about TOEFL from week1,and the TOEFL is an important passport to study abroad because more than 1000 foreign universities recognized TOEFL scores. There are many main differences between TOEFL and IELTS .
1. IELTS is sutiable for studying in commonwealth,Australia.But TOEFL is suitable for north American countries,mainly the USA and Canada.
2. IELTS pays more attention to life application while TOEFL is more academic.
3. IELTS total score is 9 while TOEFL total score is 120.
In the Week 1 study, I learned the importance of English ability, not just the coures when considering study in a foreign country. Becides, the component of TOEFL has been shown, and we can better handle the test.
There are several differences in test method between TOEFL and IELTS. In listening section, IELTS is more acadomic, while TOEFL is respectively close to life. And when we are testing our speaking ability, we need to talk with the computer in IELTS and with a real person in TOEFL. More than that, I noticed that we do the test on computer in IELTS, and we write our answers in paper in TOEFL.
From week1,I have learned what is TOFEL test and the significance of the test scores.What's more,I also learned the compositions of the test.There are some differences between IELTS and TOEFL.The IELTS test is based on internationalization, and it mainly involves cultural and geographical knowledge from Britain and Australia.TOEFL is based on American English,it's listening is completely standard American pronunciation, and there are also American idioms, slang, involving a large number of American history, culture, politics, geography and other aspects of the content.LIike the teacher said:" TOEFL is more acdamic!"
Having studied the courese fo week 1 , I not only understand the question types and detailed schedule of TOEFL test , but also get some skills of English learning . As I plan to study abroad in the future , the TOEFL test is of great importance .
Based on my research , I find some differences between TOEFL and IELTS . First ,the ranges of application of the two tests are defferent . TOEFL is more academic , while IELTS is more for immigrants . Besides , TOEFL's test time is longer than IELTS, and the recognition degree is higher than IELTS . What's more ,some question types of the two tests are diverse ,and the IELTS' s standard for evaluation is more detailed .
In my opinion ,week1 is a marvelous course which tells us chinese students how to prepare for the toefl test and introduce many excellent english teachers.
To my way of thinking,the essential differences between ielts and toefl are not much.they all include listening,speaking,writing,reading sections.
The toefl test full mark is 120,but ielts is 9. Iris has mentioned that toefl is more academic in the comments above.
Generally understand the importance of TOEFL and the general situation of the course, and actively participate in the discussion in the discussion area. So far, I don't know much about TOEFL and IELTS, I only know that their scores are not one type, but I believe that after a deeper understanding, I can distinguish them.
Having finished the week1,I benefit a great ideal.I have a look inside the TOEFL Test which inclues Reading,Listening,Speaking,Writing.At first,I meet our instructors and some basical information about this course.And how the TOEFL Test is made left a deep impression on me.The process is really strict to ensure fair and just.Maybe it is the reason why The TOEFL Test is the most widely respected English-language test in the world.
The differences between TOEFL and IELTS are follows:
IELTS is suitable for overseas study and immigration in the UK and Australia.It is acknowledged by all the university of England and Australia.TOEFL is more respected by North America .
IELTS pays more attention to life practice, namely more communication.TOEFL is focus on academic aspects.So TOEFL 's vocabulary requirement is larger than IELTS.
Now I have had online study for 1 week.From my perspective,I think online study can be a good and convenient for us to study.Sine we can get everything we want from our home.For example,we study when it is freezing outside and we can get more study resoureses.However,I think I have more homework.
The differences between TOELF and IELTS are below.
First,speaking.we face a woman a men when take speaking part.,and the content is not that serious and academic like TOELF.During IELTS test,we have 3 parts,but the contents are related to our daily life.Unlike IELTS,we face a computer when doing this part,and we will have to listen something academic.
Secondly,as soon as starting an exam,we will not have chance to drink water or take snack during IELTS but TOELF can.
Thirdly,listening.Lectures will not be shown in IELTS.
Last,writting.when taking IELTS,we do not have to listen a lecture.Instead,we get a topic,which is related to our society and is very very critic.we need to list our positive or pessistic perpectives during this part.
According to my research and what I've learned in Week1, I know the following 3 differences between TOFEL and ILETS.
1.The basements. TOFEL is based on internet (iBT),while the ILETS is a paper based test.
2.The accepted countries. TOFEL is applicable to the majority of North Africa countries, such as Mexico, Canada and so on, and the counties admitting ILETS are almost belong to the British Commonwealth of Nations. Though the range of application to the two tests is different, there are also lots of countries accepting both of them at the same time.
3.The atmosphere. In the TOFEL, it's more likely to test one's knowledge in astronomy, geography, or society sciences, by comparion, the topics in ILETS are founctional and daily. So I have a conclusion that TOFEL is acdemic and ILETS is down to earth.
In the first week,I have learned the topic about Economy. I learned some professional vocabulary.At the same time, I know some similar words.At last, I learned what derivatives are.
I have learnt lots of information about TOEFL® Test. It consists of four parts, listening, speaking, reading and writing. We can have a ten minutes break in the test.
There are a lot of difference between IELTS and TOEFL. At first, the TOEFL is sponsored by ETS and the IELTS is sponsored by the British council. Secondly, the full score of TOEFL is 120, while that of IELTS is 9. In addition, their registration prices are also different. The IELTS is a little bit more expensive.
I have learnt that TOEFL is consist of reading,listening,speaking and writing and every part has different demands about the time and score.Besides,different college has different score level and some institutions also see TOEFL as a standard to join them.TOEFL and IELTS both require the applicants to have high proficiency in English,but they also have many differences.TOEFL is set by American institution ETS so it is based on American English,but IELTS is based on British English.TOEFL regard the language skills as a vital factor but IELTS attach importance to investigate the language practicability.In a word,TOEFL is more academic,IELTS is more realistic.
