TOEIC Preparation Program

This course prepares the students to master the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC). The business world demands that its participants communicate effectively.

This course is intended to help employees of international organizations, job applicants, and students in business, vocational, and trade schools to become confident in their ability to speak, listen, read, and write in American English, which will lead them to success in their business, professional, or technical careers. Besides regular class instruction, students will also take a weekly practice test to monitor individual progress.

Course Learning Outcomes

The objectives of this course are focused on enabling students to prepare for and pass the TOEIC test.  This class is also designed to help improve their TOEIC scores if they have not reached the level desired for their professional goals. Students learn vocabulary, grammar, and test-taking skills essential for the TOEIC.

Students have the opportunity to improve their listening and reading comprehension skills as well as their speaking and writing skills. As a result, students will leave this class with practical strategies that they can use on the test and in everyday life.

Communication is a major focus in the class. Communicating confidently is important in the business world; students will give presentations, interview for a job, and participate in group discussions, and debates.

Not only is oral communication important, but written communication is essential in the business environment. Several examples include a cover letter and resume, a newspaper article, a letter to the editor, an advertisement or a product description, a press release, and an email.

The TOEIC program teaches students the skills they need for both general and business purposes. Topics covered in this course include careers, workplaces, communications, retailing, industry, trade, leisure, culture, money, travel, environment, health, and society.

Upon successful completion of this course, students should have a good understanding of all skills (listening, reading, writing, and speaking) and they will have the ability to do well in both the listening and reading sections of the TOEIC test. They will demonstrate their abilities by successfully completing the TOEIC exam with a high score.
