Hi dear Azita,
the boredom of some classes are terrible, In my opinion teachers should pass so many T.T.C classes in order to manage a class and not to let students feel bored. Unfortunately teachers are evaluated just by their knowledge not by their ability to manage a class, In my opinion it's as important as having academic knowledge, Some teachers even hasn't passed the T.T.C classes which is terrible and will cause in very boring classes
And about your self confidence , I recommend you talk as much as you can in your class, with this speaking,Not only you improve your speaking , but also you'll gain your confidence, never frighten of having mistakes, because when you don't talk, you 'll never know your mistakes.
For Toefl tests I think longman and Barron's prepration books are good, 504 is a great book to expand your vocabularies. There is also one book named: Essential words for Toefl, It's the same as 504 but I found it a bit boring
, there is essays for Toefl which can help too.
I think you should work both in your vocabulary and the tests
Good luck
