Preface
This learning material is intended to provide students with guidelines to the learning of vocabulary and grammar in order to best use the core book “Beginning TOEIC Test-taking Skills VERY EASY TOEIC”, one of the most renowned books by First News.
The material contains 3 sessions. Session 1 deals with the basic knowledge of vocabulary and grammar in 12 units as well as the contextual examples of authentic language given to illustrate. Session 2 consists of the important grammar practice tests related to the key grammar points so that students can actively practise and effectively improve their skills. Session 3 is the answer key.
As mentioned, the material is beneficial to students.
