Trang 1QF OCUS
In Section 1 — Listening through Section 4 ~ Writing, each unit opens with an exercise to focus attention,
activate prior knowledge, and help students anticipate the content Focus takes an English text—a sentence,
conversation, reading passage, or essay paragraph—and challenges the learner to identify the relevant
principle These exercises can be done in class or as homework
ˆ Do You Know ?
This component of each unit provides a thorough description of a specific language skill—such as
identifying topic and main ideas, checking subject—verb agreement, or making inferences—along with
numerous sample TOEFL items assessing this skill Included are relevant definitions, explanations of
correct and incorrect answers, and discussion of common TOEFL tricks Do You Know ? can be the
basis of classroom lectures and discussions or can be studied as homework
Practice consists of sets of TOEFL questions for students to apply the fifty—four skills described in the
book The Practice exercises in each unit can be done in class or as homework
Extension
People acquire language through social interaction, so we suggest numerous ideas to foster cooperation,
stimulate discussion, extend skill practice, guide peer review, and link the classroom with the real world
Extension activities are student-centered, and many engage students in creating their own “TOEFL exams.”
Assessing Progress
Regular assessment is an integral part of skill building Assessing Progress consists of thirty-two timed
quizzes to simulate parts of the TOEFL Each quiz covers the content of one to four units of study Quiz
material builds cumulatively, and some of the longer quizzes review several units Quiz scores can be
graphed on the Progress Charts
®>s Review Tesis
The three section review tests—Listening, Structure, and Reading—are similar in form and content to
the corresponding sections of the actual TOEFL exam These tests can be taken as midterm or final
examinations Scores can be graphed on the Progress Charts
Writing Topics
In the computer-based TOEFL, the essay constitutes one-half of the score for Structure/Writing Therefore,
in Section 4 — Writing we provide a list of writing topics used on the actual test, along with the actual
criteria used for scoring essays
Trang 2“~« Practice Tests
This section consists of four full-length tests which are similar to the actual TOEFL Test / and Test 3 are
similar to the computer-based test, and Test 2 and Test 4 are similar to the paper-based test Any of the
Practice Tests can be taken as midterm or final examinations They can also be used for diagnostic or
placement purposes Scores can be graphed on the Progress Charts
®¿ Answer Sheets
Answer sheets accompany the Quick Diagnostic Test and the four full-length tests Although the actual
computer-based TOEFL does not have an answer sheet (test-takers use the computer mouse to click on
answers), we provide answer sheets for the two practice tests resembling the computer test for students
and teachers who want them All answer sheets are reproducible
“~« Answer Key
This section consists of answer keys for all tests, quizzes, and practice exercises The answer keys provide
explanations and refer students to appropriate units of study for further review
“~« Tapescript
This section includes complete tapescripts for all listening material in the practice exercises, quizzes, and
tests In addition to their role in building listening comprehension, the scripts can be used in several ways
The conversations can be used for learning vocabulary and idioms and as models for students to write and
perform their own skits The talks can be used as reading passages for students to write their own “TOEFL
questions” about, for example, referents or vocabulary in context
Cassettes
The set of cassette tapes accompanying this book includes over six hours of listening material In addition
to being used for TOEFL preparation, the cassettes can be used for pronunciation practice, dictation exercis-
es, and vocabulary study, as well as for learning English through academic content
Sample Course Flans
Objectives will vary from program to program, and from student to student, regarding what content the
TOEFL course should cover However, a good general rule is to allow approximately the same amount of
time for Structure/Writing as for Listening/Reading
The book can be adapted to fit several time frames:
°~« Limited Time (5 to 9 weeks) If time is limited, the program should concentrate on the tests and
quizzes Use the Quick Diagnostic Test, answer keys, and progress charts to identify skill areas that
require more review and practice Work systematically through the units in these problem areas
“~¢ Moderate Time (10 to 15 weeks) Students should work through as much of the text as possible See
the following sample plan for a 15-week TOEFL Preparation Course This course can be shortened to
ten or twelve weeks by skipping some material
* More Time (16 to 20 weeks) See the following sample plans for two separate courses, Listening and
Reading Comprehension Course and Grammar and Writing Course Each course can be shortened by
