E-Learning

E-learning is the process of sharing knowledge through a variety of mediums, including online classes, e-books, webinars, CDs, and more. It has transformed the traditional chalk-and-board technique of imparting knowledge to the students. E-learning has proven to be quite beneficial in this age of technological innovation and a fast-paced environment. 

It helps accommodate students who are unable to attend in-person classes due to distance, financial constraints, or any other issues. Additionally, most of the e-learning sources offer time flexibility, which is probably the most significant advantage. Therefore, to keep up with the rapidly-progressing world, ICD initiated an e-learning program, and since then, has successfully prepared students for English proficiency tests through online classes.  


Difference between E-learning (Online) and Traditional learning (On-Campus)?


There is absolutely no difference between E-learning and traditional learning that is being offered by International Career Development. Our teachers make certain that each and every student has access to the best resources, is provided sufficient guidance, timely assessment, and adequate time to guarantee success. 


E-learning Medium:


We offer online classes through Google Meet, Zoom, Skype, and Microsoft Teams.

Coaching

Language coaching addresses the emotional, motivational, and practical sides of learning a language. Language coaching helps learners develop an awareness of the conditions that influence their learning. Negative experiences from your past can hinder your progress. That is why coaching works by helping learners unearth past limiting beliefs and self-loathing.  They become conscious of their reasons for learning the language, their mid-term and long-term objectives, and their degree of motivation. With the help of the coach, learners assess their current situations and where they want to go. 

Language coaching applies the principle that learners can self-direct their language study, meaning that they are responsible for all decisions about their own learning process. They decide what to prioritize, their achievement goals, their learning projects, which resources will help them, what specific approach to learning they wish to try, and how to evaluate their results.  Language coaching encourages the learner to analyze and think about the different aspects of learning. 

The coach supports learners in finding solutions to existing problems and providing adequate resources for them to overcome a specific hurdles.  Language coaching encourages learners to focus on successful strategies that can be implemented and where changes are required. This is the coaching formula for success.  Learners optimize their learning by working together with their language coach.

We offer Spoken English Classes as well as preparatory courses for the following exams:

1) IELTS

2) TOEFL

3) PTE

4) OET

5) HSK

6) Deutsch

TOEFL

The test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is a standardised test used to assess the English language proficiency of non-native speakers seeking admission to English-speaking universities.

This test evaluates your reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills, which are necessary for academic pursuits, scholarships, immigration, and visa processing. The TOEFL test is recognised and accepted in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, and across Europe, and Asia. 

More than 11,500 universities and other institutions in over 190 countries and territories accept the test. TOEFL is one of the world's two major English-language tests.

Test Format

Your TOEFL scores accurately reflect your abilities and demonstrate to admissions officers that you have what it takes to succeed. TOEFL offers two types of tests: TOEFL paper-based (PBT) and TOEFL Internet-based (IBT) (IBT).

TOEFL iBT and PBT Availability and Administration

In terms of availability and administration, the TOEFL internet-based test (iBT) and paper-based test (PBT) are vastly different. The iBT was developed in the late 1990s and released to the public in 2005, and it has nearly totally superseded the PBT in the years thereafter.

The TOEFL iBT is now taken by more than 97 percent of students, and the PBT exists solely because internet testing is not yet universally available. The iBT is offered exclusively in most countries throughout the world, and because of the convenience of internet testing, finding a test date for the iBT is much easier than for the PBT. The iBT can be taken practically any Friday or Saturday of the year, whereas the PBT is only given once a month at most in the few sites that provide it. The fact that paper tests are more expensive to proctor, transport, and assess explains why they are less widely available.

TOEFL iBT and PBT Content and Structure

There are also significant content differences between the iBT and the PBT.

The iBT has a separate section for assessing spoken English, whereas the PBT does not assess speaking skills at all.  The Structure and Written Expression section of the PBT, in which test-takers must complete or correct sentences, does not exist on the iBT.  The iBT writing section is twice as long as the PBT's Test of Written English (TWE), with two distinct writing tasks rather than a single essay, and it assesses a broader range of writing skills. In general, the iBT requires test takers to demonstrate their ability to synthesize English-language skills, whereas the PBT is a much more limited assessment (since the former was designed to improve on the latter, this is to be expected). The iBT requires more time to complete than the PBT (the iBT can last from three hours and 20 minutes to four hours and 10 minutes, compared to two hours and 20-30 minutes for the PBT).  The variability in test timing is due in part to the inclusion of experimental questions, the number of which varies across TOEFL administrations, and the larger range of iBT test times suggests more liberal use of these experimental questions on the iBT.

Scoring for the TOEFL iBT and PBT

The PBT scoring system involves converting correct answers (raw scores) for each section into scaled scores, which are then used to calculate total scores using a simple mathematical formula. PBT sectional scores range from 31-68 (Listening Comprehension, Structure, and Written Expression), 31-67 (Reading Comprehension), and 1-6 (Comprehension) (TWE).

The PBT total score ranges from 310 to 677.  The iBT has a much simpler scoring system, with four sectional scores ranging from 0 to 30 (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) and a total score that is the sum of all four sectional scores (0-120).

 

TOEFL iBT® Test Content

The TOEFL iBT® test has 4 sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. During the test, you'll perform tasks that combine these 4 English communication skills, such as:

 

The total test takes about 3 hours to complete, but you should plan for 3½ hours, allowing 30 minutes for check in

IELTS Academic
The IELTS Academic test is designed for students who intend to study in an English-speaking community or a university (higher education). IELTS Academic can also be used for professional registration.

Students can request that their IELTS results be sent to five different organizations for free. Sending results to additional organizations incurs a fee. As long as your IELTS scores are valid, you can ask your center to send your results.

IELTS General Training

The IELTS General Training test is appropriate for students applying to study at a lower level than a bachelor's degree. This includes a school or college that uses English as the medium of instruction & teaching.

IELTS General Training is also required for migration to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. The test focuses on everyday English language skills that you will need in social and professional settings.
