Courses

This course aims to prepare students for the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC). It focuses both on thoroughly familiarizing students with the format, level, and content and on teaching students strategies for both sections of the examination (Listening and Reading). Each lesson is organized so that it develops and enhances all skills and sub-skills necessary for the different parts of the test (listening, incomplete sentences, text completion and reading comprehension).

This syllabus is designed for a 160-Hour TOEIC Course.

a. The syllabus is presented on a fifty minute lesson-by-lesson basis.
b. The different parts of the test are introduced gradually, focusing on the skills the students need to develop for each part.
c. Various techniques and strategies are presented and practiced in order to help students perform to the best of their abilities in the listening and reading sections of the test (e.g. predicting, listening to similar sounds, prepositions, words out of context, answering wh- questions, making correct interpretations, making semantic associations, focusing on the purpose of the question, recognizing errors, understanding business texts and articles, etc.).

Students are provided with practice tests and timed exercises to help students gain confidence and do well on the real test. Students are placed in one of the following stages based on their placement test results: Basic, Independent, and Expert. Certificates are awarded at the successful completion of each stage.
