Integrated Skills

I'm intending to take TOEFL test in the near future. Of course, I took TOEFL test several times in the past. you know that there is a major change of TOEFL test this year. It’s called TOEFL ibt which have no Grammar Test any more. TOEFL ibt focuses on Integrated Skills: Speaking, Writing. I understand that EFL teachers seminar at UH OUTREACH Manoa this year reacts to this change. Now I’m interested in the program now.
As for my classes, I ‘rebuilt ’ my principles of class to keep up with Integrated Skills. My class has been changed drastically: students should work on all the items with summarizing in writing or speaking. And all the classes I teach are carried on only English like Bobby’s classes.

I took TOEIC test!


Hi friends!
How have you been doing lately? I took TOEIC test during my spring break and received the result today. The reason I am showing you my score is that I want most of you to use this chance of seeing my score as an opportunity to improve your English. Before taking the test, I studied for a few weeks for the test. You can read some useful advice for getting high scores in TOEIC in the following link. http://blog.bulknews.net/mt/archives/001853.html
Actually, I used some of these study habits. OK. Study harder!
