About TOEFL products
About preparation for TOEFL ...

The LANGMaster edition contains two titles for advanced students based on Heinemann ELT courses - The Heinemann TOEFL Preparation Course and The Heinemann TOEFL Practice Tests. With their help you will not only improve your English to the level required for study at colleges and universities in North America and elsewhere but at the same time you will discover just how good your English really is. They will help you to test the skills of listening, writing, vocabulary and English grammar to the level necessary for you to be best prepared for a successful sitting of the TOEFL exam.

Your indispensible assistant will be your Personal Planner which on the basis of practice tests initially draws your attention to your weaknesses and this way optimizes learning and shortens the time necessary for preparation.

The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is an internationally recognized English examination which measures the level of English language proficiency of non-native speakers of English. It has four sections: Listening Comprehension, Structure and Written Expression, Reading Comprehension and the Test of Written English.
