How to prepare for the toeic test

Barron's How to Prepare for the TOEICO Test may be used as either a self-study course or a class course. In a class situation, this text will provide an excellent structure for helping the students improve their English language skills and prepare for the TOEIC exam.

Adult learners of English are very goal-orîented. For many adults who are required to take the TOEIC exam, their goal is, obviously enough, a high score. H aving a goal that can be easily measured will be very motivating for your students.

Many teachers do not like to uteach to the test." They feel that developing a general knowledge of English will be more useful to the students than reviewing test items. But students want to "study the test" They don't want to "waste their time" learning something that might not be tested.

Both arguments ignore what actually happens during a TOEIC preparation course. General English is used to dîscuss how the exam is structured, what strategies should be used, and what skills should be developed. General English is used to explain problems and to expand into Cher areas. By helping students prepare for an exam, you can't help but improve their general knowledge of English.

A TOEIC preparation course gives the students what they want: a streamuned approach to learning what they think they need to know for the exam. The course gives the teachers what they want: a scheme to help them improve the English language ability of their students.
