A teacher's second responsibility is to promote students' success in writing. The teacher does this by carefully monitoring students' writing to assess strengths and weaknesses, teaching specific skills and strategies in response to student needs, and giving careful feedback that will reinforce newly learned skills and correct recurring problems.

Comparing TOEFL and TOEIC

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is meant to evaluate the English ability of those interested in academic study.

Providing feedback means giving students an explanation of what they are doing correctly AND incorrectly.
