IntroductionWelcome to Step by Step Toward Receptive Skills (based on TOEIC Bridge® ).

This series is designed to help beginning and intermediate students develop their

listening and reading skills. Through practice of activities and problems modeled

on the TOEIC Bridge Test, students can become better test takers while

developing comprehension and communication skills in English.

The thematically organized, graded units within the series follow a three-step

format: Warm-up, Exercise, and Test.

Warm-up

Each unit begins with target vocabulary, a section which introduces key

words found within the unit. This warm-up vocabulary section is then followed

by the question-type preview and practice sections. In these sections, multipleexamples of common question types are presented and applied. These sections

also incorporate the target vocabulary, developing both word and question

recognition for common phrases and structures found on the TOEIC Bridge Test.

Exercise

After working through the Warm-up activities, students move on to a

simplified practice test in the Exercise section of the unit. The limited number of

answer choices in these activities provides students with the opportunity to

become acquainted with the test question format while keeping the activity

accessible to beginning and intermediate students.

Test

In the final section of each unit, students have the opportunity to practice

TOEIC Bridge-type questions, which follow the same format as those

encountered on the actual test. Because all questions in this section of the book

follow the theme presented in the unit, students will repeatedly encounter

vocabulary from earlier parts of the unit, reinforcing vocabulary acquisition and

comprehension.

Vocabulary is a critical factor in language development. With this in mind,Step by Step Toward Receptive Skills (based on TOEIC Bridge® ) has been

designed to help students build a solid foundation of vocabulary. Each unit

introduces a limited number of new words while recycling vocabulary from

earlier units in a variety of contexts across the diverse themes presented within

the series.

Step by Step Toward Receptive Skills (based on TOEIC Bridge® ) can help

students smoothly progress from the TOEIC Bridge Test to the TOEIC Test

through strategic and organized practice at a comfortable level.
