I recently took the test, April 17/5/11, and it was the ultimate help!. Preparation Course for the TOEFL® Test: Next Generation (IBT), a book/CD-ROM package written by Deborah Phillips, gives students all the tools they need to succeed on the new TOEFL® integrated-skills test. Providing both a comprehensive language skills course and a wealth of practice for all sections of the test, the Preparation Course is appropriate for courses in TOEFL® Test preparation or as a supplement to more general English courses.
Note: All the audio material is included (the Skills Practice, the Mini-Tests, and the Complete Tests) in the textbook.
The Student Book features: Authentic material, recently tested, for all the new types of passages and questions on the test. Diagnostic pre-tests and post-tests that allow students to identify strengths and weaknesses and assess improvement in each section. Practice sections for the four skills: Reading provides practice exercises in the new test formats, including filling in a table or chart and paraphrasing. Listening provides authentic conversations between two people in an academic setting and academic lectures with new questions about a speaker’s attitude or purpose. Speaking includes personal and expository tasks and integrated tasks. Writing consists of expository and integrated tasks: reading/listening/writing. Eight mini-tests that preview the test’s integrated four-skills format. Two complete practice tests that familiarize students with the actual test format and timing.
To summarize, you will find here: • A full-length TOEFL iBT book with accompanying audio sections on an MP3 CD • Audio exercises on the CD to hone your listening skills • The Software executable - in a *.NRG image (Nero image, you can use PowerIso to mounter) • Strategies and practice drills for all core concepts • Detailed answers and explanations for the practice test and all practice drills • Tips on organizing and focusing your essay-writing skills • Practical information on the what, when, where, and how of taking the TOEFL iBT • Additional grammar review • Planning and organization advice to get you all the way to test day!
