Trang 5PREFACE
The new TOEIC test was first administered in May, 2006 with tasks redesigned to
be “more authentic” and “more closely resemble what a person using the language
in the real world would have to do.” According to ETS, the new TOBIC test
emphasizes authentic language contexts which require learners to use multiple strategies and abilities to comprehend and connect information While the number of test items and the basic test format remain unchanged, several major changes
are introduced: a shift from individual questions to sets of questions in Part 3, a
replacement of error-recognition questions by text-completion questions in Part 6, the inclusion of questions based on two-interrelated passages in Part 7 and the use of a broader range of accents in the Listening section These changes reflect the test designers’ commitment to continuous reevaluation and improvement of the
test while addressing the need to ensure high TOEIC scores actually correlate with
real ability to communicate in English Time will tell whether, and how well, the
new TOEIC test can improve the accuracy in measuring the testtakers’ proficiency,
but it is clear that the enhancements in the new test do reflect how the language is used in a more authentic setting It is also clear that the new test will pose new
challenges to most testtakers, who have been more or less comfortable with the traditional version of the test for many years
The TOEIC ICON series is designed to help you cope with these new challenges
Beginning with the Basic level (LC and RC), the TOEIC ICON series introduces
basic vocabulary and grammar patterns and provides the users with extensive practice to acquire them Through step-by-step lessons, the skills and strategies to effectively handle all parts of the test are at the forefront of the series The higher
level, Intensive level, is intended to give you intensive strategy building and in- depth practice to help you achieve a high score in the new TOEIC test Whether
your target score is an entry level of 400s or a more advanced score of 700-800s,
the TOEIC ICON series is your ideal choice

What’s the New TOEIC?
TOBIC, which stands for Test of English for International Communication, measures English
proficiency in a work-related environment at advanced and intermediate levels It is designed to give an accurate measurement of the English capabilities of people who do not use English as their mother tongue Each year there are 4 million people from more than 60 countries taking the test for various purposes, from seeking jobs to getting promotions
Beginning in May 2006, the New TOEIC has been redesigned to better address the real demands of workplace communicative English Tasks are more authentic and reflect the use of English in a truly international business setting compared to the traditional version of the test
TOEIC Test Areas
As TOEIC measures the candidate’s proficiency in the workplace and everyday communication, the test questions are based on real-life work settings in an international environment
(meetings, travel, telephone conversations, etc), To ensure that the test measures what it is
supposed to in a fair, valid and reliable way, these characteristics are common of the test items: * Vocabulary, grammar and idioms are not specifically American English
° Culture-specific and job/profession-specific situations are avoided * Names from different countries are included
* Different English accents are used throughout the test — mainly American, British, Canadian and Australian accents
Structure of the Test
