Book description:
Build your mastery of English vocabulary--and ace the TOEFL test!

The first step to passing any language-based exam is the mastery of vocabulary. Written by an ESL expert, McGraw- Hill Education: Essential Vocabulary for the TOEFL Test provides the methods you need to build vocabulary--both academic and campus--and the practice you need to perform strongly on test day.

Organized in a way that helps you maximize your study time, this practical guide takes you through a strategic three-step process--learning and understanding vocabulary, building and recording vocabulary, and using vocabulary-- while offering exercises that help you remember word meanings and improve your feel of English.

McGraw-Hill Education: Essential Vocabulary for the TOEFL Test features 20 academic-style readings focusing on advanced vocabulary from the Academic Word List, which is the kind of content you'll find in the TOEFL test reading and listening (lecture) sections. It also includes dialogues about university life that will prepare you for the TOEFL test listening section for campus-related topics.

McGraw-Hill Education: Essential Vocabulary for the TOEFL Test provides

  • More than 1,100 words you're most likely to see on the TOEFL test

  • Exercises that build skills in paraphrasing, comprehension, and using new words in your writing

  • 70 minutes of audio recordings of selected readings from throughout the book
