Second, it also included the latest available information about the new computer-based TOEFL.
Third, it explains by giving numerous examples and reinforces them with extensive exercises that feel like the real TOEFL.
This means that you constantly see and practice material that is written in the same style and has the same type of content as actual TOEFL exams.
Fourth, it concentrates on the skills and strategies required for the TOEFL.
Your success does not depend only on your knowledge of English; it depends also on how good you are at taking tests like the TOEFL.
Fifth, it presents the material clearly and efficiently. The assumption is that you are a busy person and that you must prepare for the TOEFL quickly. Using this book will definitely save your valuable time.
Sixth, it is written by Ronald E. Feare, senior instructor and program coordinator of the American Language Institute, San Diego State University, who has been teaching ESL classes for over 25 years while developing and classtesting TOEFL and TOEIC material.
Seventh, the full text, including the questions, answer choices and explanations, has been translated into Korean by Lee Young Jae in close consultation with the author. Mr. Lee has over 25 years of experience translating and annotating ELT textbooks. The Korean translations are available in separate screens on the CD-ROM so that they can be consulted when necessary.
Furthermore, all unfamiliar words and phrases students might encounter are extensively annotated in English with accompanying Korean translations. Clear definitions in context and ample examples accompanied by translations are provided for further study. Unfamiliar words and phrases that appear in the definitions and example sentences are also annotated.
Eighth, the CD-ROM includes role-playing exercises in which the students, can assume the roles of the native speakers, and record the dialogues by themselves. They can later compare their recordings with those of the native speakers.
Finally, the CD-ROM provides transcribing exercises for increasing the students' proficiency in the use of function words, i.e., articles, modal auxiliaries, prepositions, etc., as well as the use of contractions. These exercises, developed over the course of six years of classroom testing, also help readers increase their listening comprehension.
In these transcribing exercises students are given practice in understanding the conversations, talks, and lectures not word by word, but rather in multi-word units.
In this way students are able to improve their listening and reading skills as well. The purpose of these exercises is not only to help students prepare for the TOEFL, but also to improve their overall proficiency in English.
