The topics studied each week directly relate to TOEFL exam topics. The TOEFL exam is an international exam, and therefore the majority of themes are global in nature and require students to think globally rather than locally. Many of the topics may be new to students and challenging. However, students are expected to use critically thinking as global citizens to navigate ideas and express themselves effectively.
