Introduction
Welcome to Step by Step Toward Receptive Skills (based on TOEIC Bridge). This series is designed to help beginning and intermediate students develop their listening and reading skills. Through practice of activities and problems modeled on the TOEIC Bridge Test, students can become better test takers while developing comprehension and communication skills in English. The thematically organized, graded units within the series follow a three-step format: Warm-up, Exercise, and Test.
Warm-up
Each unit begins with target vocabulary, a section which introduces key words found within the unit. This warm-up vocabulary section is then followed by the question-type preview and practice sections. In these sections, multiple examples of common question types are presented and applied. These sections also incorporate the target vocabulary, developing both word and question recognition for common phrases and structures found on the TOEIC Bridge Test.
Exercise
After working through the Warm-up activities, students move on to a simplified practice test in the Exercise section of the unit. The limited number of answer choices in these activities provides students with the opportunity to become acquainted with the test question format while keeping the activity accessible to beginning and intermediate students.
Test
In the final section of each unit, students have the opportunity to practice TOEIC Bridge-type questions, which follow the same format as those encountered on the actual test. Because all questions in this section of the book follow the theme presented in the unit, students will repeatedly encounter vocabulary from earlier parts of the unit, reinforcing vocabulary acquisition and comprehension. Vocabulary is a critical factor in language development. With this in mind, Step by Step Toward Receptive Skills (based on TOEIC Bridge) has been designed to help students build a solid foundation of vocabulary. Each unit introduces a limited number of new words while recycling vocabulary from earlier units in a variety of contexts across the diverse themes presented within the series. Step by Step Toward Receptive Skills (based on TOEIC Bridge) can help students smoothly progress from the TOEIC Bridge Test to the TOEIC Test through strategic and organized practice at a comfortable level.
