The presenter will walk participants through the changes, allowing them to see first hand the new challenges learners will face, and then look at and try some activities that can be used to develop student ability both in the long and short term. A brief overview of the format and implications of the new TOEIC: Speaking and Writing tests will also be included.
(2) This session familiarizes you with STEP BULATS, a language assessment service produced by Cambridge ESOL Examinations and distributed in Japan through STEP Inc., which evaluates the four skills of English in practical business contexts. The presentation will cover the aims of the tests, how the tests are configured, and how relevant they are to a great many corporations that conduct business in international settings. Also offered will be some tips for future test takers.
