Longman Introductory Course for the TOEFL Test: IBT

Providing both a comprehensive language skills course and a wealth of practice for all sections of the test, the Longman Introductory Course for the TOEFLŪ Test: IBT, by Deborah Phillips, gives intermediate students (scores of 450 to 520 on the paper TOEFLŪ Test or 133 to 190 on the TOEFLŪ iBT) all the tools they need to begin to prepare for the TOEFLŪ iBT integrated-skills test. Upon completion of the Introductory Course, students are ready to handle the more advanced material in Longman Preparation Course for the TOEFLŪ Test: IBT.

Note: You must have the Audio CDs to use the listening material (the Skills Practice, the Mini-Tests, the Complete Tests, and the TOEFLŪ-level Test) in the textbook. The audio material on the CD-ROM is different from that on the adio CDs. Click here to purchase the Audio CDs.
