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 “Developing Skills for the TOEIC TEST”, one of the most renowned books by First News.

The material contains 3 sessions. Session 1 deals with the knowledge of vocabulary in 14 units and the contextual examples of authentic language given to illustrate. Session 2 gives the important grammar practice tests related to the key grammar points so that students can actively practise and effectively improve their skills. Session 3 gives the answer key.

As mentioned, the material is beneficial to students. Constructive suggestions and corrections are, therefore, highly appreciated.
