Abstract

Collins Skills for the TOEIC Test: Speaking and Writing is a unique skills-based exam preparation course.

TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication') is a test of English proficiency for people in the workplace seeking to work in an international environment or looking for promotion within their organisation.
The TOEIC test questions simulate real-life situations relevant to the global workplace. Score reports for candidates provide accurate, meaningful feedback about a test taker's strengths and weaknesses.
Collins Skills for TOEIC is a two book series (1 Listening/Reading; 2 Speaking/Writing) and focuses on helping learners handle the integrated skill aspect of the TOEIC test, where they are required to produce responses based on mixed input. Each book in the series therefore will contain all four skills but in different weightings.
