The LANGMaster TOEFL® consists of two CD-ROMs – The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Preparation Course and The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Practice Tests. Each title is based on best-selling TOEFL® material published by the UK-based publishing house Macmillan Heinemann ELT. They are suitable for both in-class and self-study.
These courses will help you improve your knowledge of English and bring it to the level necessary to study at American Universities and elsewhere. They will also help you assess your knowledge and identify your weak areas. The courses include not only practice exams, but also complete grammar review and exercises focused on listening and reading comprehension. You will not only improve your grammar and vocabulary but also learn important strategies that will help you to succeed in TOEFL® exam.
The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® is not only a set of practice tests, it is a complete solution for students preparing for the TOEFL® exam. You can work through all the tests under the same conditions as during the real exam, including time pressure. You can see your score immediately after completing a test, review your mistakes and study the correct answers and their explanations. On the basis of your completed tests an Intelligent Personal Planner will design your Personal Plan, suggesting areas of study. The Practice Tests will help you eliminate your weaknesses in areas which could otherwise bring down your TOEFL® score. The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Practice Tests are linked to the Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Preparation Course through the Personal Plan. There is a Notebook with a diary that enables you to take notes. The notes are then sorted and can be searched according to various criteria. The notes can also be recalled by a date on which they were created. Several users can work with the application at the same time, each of them working with their own Personal Plan for the TOEFL® exam.
Extra Facilities:
Personal Plan
The Intelligent Personal Planner is a unique feature in the program, which will help you find the weaker areas in your English and allow you to concentrate on them.
On the basis of completed tests the Intelligent Personal Planner will design your Personal Plan, suggesting areas of necessary improvement. The Personal Plan will help you eliminate weaknesses that could bring down your TOEFL ® score. The Personal Plan is divided into the same sections as the real TOEFL® test (Listening Comprehension, Structure and Written Expression and Reading Comprehension). The Personal Planner prioritizes the sections according to your performance (the weakest sections in will be first on the list).
Working with the plan is very simple. Start with a diagnostic test from The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Preparation Course. Then follow directions from the Assistant who will guide you through the checkpoints. Each checkpoint in your plan includes theory (grammar explanations and recommendations) and practice exercises. The Personal Planner cooperates with the Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Practice Tests – all the tests from this title will interact with your Personal Plan.
Notebook
The Notebook lets you take and sort your own notes you take during the course and other LANGMaster titles. You can take independent notes or attach notes to individual pages (screens) from the LANGMaster applications. Another important component of the Notebook is the Diary. It enables you to schedule chosen notes to be recalled on a specific date.
The Assistant
The Assistant will guide you throughout the course. He will monitor your improvement and guide you from task to task suggesting tests and exercises. He will evaluate your answers and help you follow your TOEFL Personal Plan.
