The Michigan Guide to Teaching EAP Skills for the TOEFL iBT is a new kind of teaching guide for programs that need to offer more English for Academic Purposes (EAP) practice for students preparing for the iBT. This guide was written by EAP teachers and is designed to be used in conjunction with The MICHIGAN Guide to English for Academic Success and Better TOEFL® Test Scores (0-472-08991-9) but could be used to support any TOEFL-preparation course. This new guide features reproducible activities that develop all the academic skills tested on the iBT; tips for teachers new to the teaching of EAP skills; strategies for creating additional TOEFL-like readings and listening passages to give students more practice; two complete practice tests and two mini tests; audio CDs containing all the necessary listening material.

For some students, the best way to learn everyday English and aspects of American life is to be outside the classroom in situations that facilitate that knowledge. A to Zany puts students in situations that allow them to observe and participate in settings and with tasks that will help them improve their English skills as well as their understanding of life in America. Each unit begins with a preactivity exercise designed to stimulate discussion, activate background knowledge, and prepare students for the activity itself. Activities take about one hour, and most can be done individually, in pairs, or in small groups. Post-activity exercises stimulate thought and discussion among students as to what they observed of the American culture. Because students learn best when they enjoy something and are doing something, activities are stimulating: Activity A focuses on art, while Activity B focuses on ball games; Activity G explores garage sales; Activity M features movies; and Activity V is about volunteers and volunteering.

The Next-Generation TOEFL(R) Test focuses on all four skills and academic skill proficiency. It responds to the growing popularity of communicative testing by addressing all four skills--reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The Michigan Guide to English for Academic Success and Better TOEFL(R) Test Scores will help international students develop the skills that will improve their English--not just for test preparation, but for academic purposes as well. The book may be used as a core text in multi-skills academic classes and dedicated test-preparation programs. Within each chapter of this book, academic skills are identified, explained, practiced, and finally testdd. Opportunities for simulated test practice are provided within the chapters, and a complete practice test is provided at the back of the book. Other features include: *full-length readings from authentic college-level textbooks and other academic material *authentic lectures from first- and second-year university courses *examples of student writing and speaking from nonnative speakers of English in testing situations *extensive sections detailing how written and spoken responses will be rated. The two audio CDs packaged with the book contain all the material for the listening section and the integrated skills tested in the writing and speaking sections of the new TOEFL(R) (to be released in 2005).
