Developing the skills necessary for the TOEIC®, TOEFL iBT® and other English language proficiency tests can be a trying experience for test-takers, so this course has been designed to provide some strategies to develop students’ higher-order thinking skills and stay motivated. Reading Strategies for Test Taking will cover ways to help students to improve their English language proficiency score by providing exposure to tests, practice with tests, and learning about test taking strategies, and help them to think through the tests and generalize their knowledge across other English language proficiency tests.
A heavy emphasis is placed on strategies for learning vocabulary which will help with depth of understanding, much of which is done through sharing connections with other students. There is ample opportunity for the learning exercises in this course to become an opportunity for social interaction and further understanding of a vocabulary item through others’ experiences.
The course aims to give exposure to and practice with the reading sections the TOEIC®, TOEFL iBT®, TOEFL ITP®, and IELTS.
