I'm intending to take TOEFL test in the near future. Of course, I took TOEFL test several times in the past. you know that there is a major change of TOEFL test this year. It’s called TOEFL ibt which have no Grammar Test any more. TOEFL ibt focuses on Integrated Skills: Speaking, Writing. I understand that EFL teachers seminar at UH OUTREACH Manoa this year reacts to this change. Now I’m interested in the program now.
As for my classes, I ‘rebuilt ’ my principles of class to keep up with Integrated Skills. My class has been changed drastically: students should work on all the items with summarizing in writing or speaking. And all the classes I teach are carried on only English like Bobby’s classes.

Hi Shunichi,
Thanks for the good comment. I was inspired by the idea of Speaking/Writing test. I think Speaking/Writing test is a very good idea to inpire your students, too.If you focus on the S/W aspects of using English, students must use English. That's really clever.
