What is new about the TOEFL¨ test and DeltaÕs Key?
The next generation test, or iBT, is an Internet-based test introduced in September 2005. This new test replaces the earlier computer-based test known as the TOEFL¨ CBT. The next generation test assesses proficiency in the four language skills of reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important changes in the test are:
Speaking skills are evaluated. Some tasks involve integrated skills, such as reading-listening-writing. Knowledge of grammar is not tested separately but is assessed indirectly throughout the test.
DeltaÕs Key to the Next Generation TOEFL¨ Test is an all-new program designed specifically for the new version of the test. The course provides ample practice in the English skills evaluated by the new test, along with useful strategies and practical ideas for individual, pair and group activities.
Reading and listening content includes explanation of new item types, such as questions about pragmatics, paraphrasing, and summarizing information from across a text. Speaking and writing content includes practice in integrated-skills tasks, such as developing a topic, taking notes, and connecting information from two sources.
From the Inside Flap
DeltaÕs Key to the Next Generation TOEFL¨ Test: Advanced Skill Practice
DeltaÕs Key to the Next Generation TOEFL¨ Test: Advanced Skill Practice is a complete test preparation course for high intermediate and advanced learners of English. The book has two objectives: (1) to prepare students to take the new test, and (2) to build the language skills necessary for academic success in an English-speaking environment.
Advanced Skill Practice contains 36 skill units and four full-length practice tests, with more than 1,200 test questions that are similar in form and content to those on the real test. There is enough material for approximately 15 weeks of study. The book can be used in a number of ways:
as the primary text in a comprehensive preparation course; as the primary or secondary text for courses in reading, listening, speaking, or writing skills; or as a resource for independent study, laboratory, or tutoring.
The skill units contain five essential activities: Focus, Do You Know...?, Practice, Extension, and Progress.
Focus Ð An opening exercise to focus attention, activate prior learning, and stimulate inductive thinking.
Do You Know...? Ð A description of a specific skill in reading, listening, speaking, or writing that defines relevant concepts, provides sample questions, explains answers, and identifies useful test strategies.
Practice Ð Sets of practice questions to foster ease with TOEFL¨ test form and content, challenge students to apply their skills, and build skill retention.
Extension Ð Classroom activities that promote cooperation, stimulate discussion, extend skill practice, guide peer review, and link the classroom with the real world.
Progress Ð Thirty-four timed quizzes simulating parts of the test, with each quiz evaluating the skills studied in one or more units.

Very Good for speaking and Writing in Toefl iBT.,

This review is from: Delta's Key to the Next Generation TOEFL Test: Advanced Skill Practice Audio CDs (Audio CD)
Getting a good score in Toefl iBT is all about practice. These 10 CDs have a lot of exercises to get you better. I was weak in speaking and writing. I had to get a minimum score of 26 in speaking and 24 in writing. The first time i attended a 2 week training classes and used a number of books and i only got 89. Then i bought this book and CDs and all i used was this one. I got a score of 108. Though it is expensive, I would certainly recommand this book and CDs.

This review is from: Delta's Key to the Next Generation TOEFL Test: Advanced Skill Practice Audio CDs (Audio CD)
English is my 2nd language but I had studied math and science from elementary to high school in English and my college study for medicine was in English .I searched for TOEFL books and I was lucky to choose this one (the book +the CDs) although few reviews were there. But I can assure you that this is the best book if your level in English is not a beginner.I borrowed others books for TOEFL from a friend (Princeton,Longman) and they were very simple to the extend I felt silly studying from them.
The CDs are very very good ,the practice tests in the book it self are great and adds up to your language. I definitely recommend this CDs +the book for those with advanced level in English language.
