| Research Abstract |
In this project, we put about 700 practice TOEIC Questions on line. Thus, anyone can study TOEIC via the Internet for no fee. We believe there is no other Internet site of this type. The site can be accessed at :
http://vu.flare.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/english/TOEIC_project/index2.cgi
This site has for following special characteristics :
1) Exercises take into account Japanese students' English language strengths and weaknesses.
2) Students are able to select exercises in an "ala carte" design, choosing the language items with which they have troubles.
3) Questions here resemble questions on the real TOEIC.
4) Vocabulary has been intentionally recycled-used in multiple questions-so that students' knowledge of the words can be reinforced.
5) There are multiple speakers-just like on the real TOEIC-so students can become acquainted with various accents.
6) The homepage design is interesting, fun to use, and unique on the Internet.
7) It is free and available to everyone.
In summary, this Internet site provides valuable support for students. And, if students study this site well, we guarantee that they will do well on the TOEIC!
