TOEFL Reading and Listening Sections Skills Mastery

UC Irvine focuses this course on reading and listening comprehension for non-native English speakers. Vocabulary and strategies for interpreting questions support the practice. It is a focused study option for understanding a passage or recording, while the actual examination format must be checked separately because ETS changed TOEFL iBT in January 2026.

What you will learn

• Identify meaning and supporting information in a passage.
• Apply a deliberate listening and question-review strategy.
• Develop vocabulary through its use in context.
