About Longman Preparation Course for the TOEFL Test: iBT
Deborah Phillips's Longman Preparation Course for the TOEFL iBT, Second Edition, is a complete preparation system for the internet-based TOEFL.

Eight mini-tests preview the integrated four-skill format, and two full-length practice tests simulate real test timing. The accompanying CD-ROM offers distinct material with pop-up explanations, a self-assessment tool, and a 'Send' feature for electronic submission of responses. A companion website lets instructors track progress, review student work, and provide feedback remotely. The course suits classroom use, tutoring, or independent study, and is appropriate for ESL programs seeking a thorough, skills-based TOEFL curriculum.
