HomeThe New TOEIC Test: Understanding and Overcoming the Challenges
Saturday, April 14th, 2007, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Speaker: Grant Trew
In May 2006, the TOEIC test went through changes in format. This workshop aims to clarify the changes to the test, highlight the impact and implications for both test takers and teachers and present some approaches to overcoming the problems Japanese learners are likely to face. The presenter will give examples of the new format and use interactive tasks to highlight some of the key challenges test takers will face. Participants will then be introduced to activities that can be used to prepare students to improve their scores. An overview of the format and implications of the new Speaking and Writing tests will also be included.
It is intended that participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of the TOEIC test changes and how these are likely to affect their students and programs, and also with a stock of techniques to better deal with these changes.
