As to your concerns regarding specific courses targeted towards preparation for TOEFL, I have to say that I strongly believe that preparation courses for any ESOL exam are limited to only exam stategy and practice.
In my experience of 16 years, success appears to depend on the extent to which the learner has assimilated the language from Basic levels onwards. The necessity for a strong language base is absolute.
In order to prepare our students for ANY situation, we are obliged to adopt SOUND classroom methodology, help to provide our students with the necessary skills/tools, then reflect upon, evaluate and then strive to improve upon not only our teaching skills, but also our attitude towards our student's ever changing needs.
If the fundimentals are in place the rest will come!
