About the Book

Providing both a comprehensive language skills course and a wealth of practice for all sections of the test, the Longman Introductory Course for the TOEFL® Test: IBT, by Deborah Phillips, gives intermediate students (scores of 450 to 520 on the paper TOEFL® Test or 45 to 70 on the TOEFL® iBT) all the tools they need to begin to prepare for the TOEFL® iBT integrated-skills test. Upon completion of the Introductory Course, students are ready to handle the more advanced material in Longman Preparation Course for the TOEFL® Test: IBT. Note: You must have the Audio CDs to use the listening material (the Skills Practice, the Mini-Tests, the Complete Tests, and the TOEFL®-level Test) in the textbook. The audio material on the CD-ROM is different from that on the adio CDs. Click here to purchase the Audio CDs. The Student Book features: * Updated material 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: o Reading provides practice exercises in the new test formats, including filling in a table or chart and paraphrasing. o Listening provides authentic conversations between two people in an academic setting and academic lectures with new questions about a speaker’s attitude or purpose. o Speaking includes personal and expository tasks and integrated tasks. o Writing consists of expository and integrated tasks: reading/listening/writing. * Four mini-tests that preview the test’s integrated four-skills format. * One complete introductory-level practice test. * One TOEFL®-level test.
