This on demand course aims to improve students’ overall TOEIC scores. Students will be given regular practice in mock TOEIC tests to become familiar with commonly used grammar and vocabulary, and develop listening strategies that can be applied to the TOEIC test.

This class will be delivered On demand. This means that the content will be uploaded to Manaba every week, and the students will use the textbook and the online resources to complete weekly assignments and tests. There will be no real time lectures in the classroom online via Webex. Each week there will be two mini-tests and one vocabulary test. There will also be an exam the end of the quarter.
