TOEFL guide update

The new English as a Second Language guide is in. I ordered 200 copies so I imagine they'll last for awhile. It's also in pdf form.

It occurred to me that it would be good to include info about TOEFL in Minnesota, since the need to take the TOEFL test drives many of the requests for this material.

I found this link today to the Minnesota Literacy Council.
It's not on the new guide, of course, but it will be in the next time I print it. The page includes references to U of M and other local TOEFL preparation events and TOEFL and ESL programs:
--------------------------------------------------------
WHERE CAN I GO TO PREPARE FOR THE TOEFL TEST?
Most of the programs listed in this database will not help you prepare for the TOEFL exam.
The following programs offer TOEFL preparation courses:
University of Minnesota Institute of Linguistics, English as a Second Language, and Slavic Languages and Literatures
Phone: 612-624-3331
www.iles.umn.edu

ELS Language Center at the University of St. Thomas,
Phone: 651-962-5990

In addition, there are online TOEFL resources at Dave's ESL cafe,
