ETS Europe has launched a new exciting online product, the TOEIC® Practice Online: Speaking and Writing, that helps candidates prepare for the TOEIC® Speaking and Writing tests, while providing targeted practice on different English language skills.

“ETS, market leader in providing valid language assessment tools, has taken learning a step further by offering an innovative practice product that helps test takers do their absolute best,” claims Benoit Thao, Executive Director, Sales, Marketing and Communication, ETS EMEA. “The TOEIC Practice Online: Speaking and Writing is designed to ensure that users can practise effectively for our tests, and prepare in a systematic manner for them.”

TOEIC Practice Online: Speaking and Writing is a resource designed to improve the “productive” (speaking and writing) skills of candidates preparing to take the TOEIC Speaking and Writing tests (available in Europe from October 2007). A comprehensive and flexible test preparation tool, this new online resource provides comprehensive training in speaking and writing, skills that require cohesive, targeted practice.

It is the official practice product that:

• Measures speaking and writing competence, and helps prepare candidate to take the real test
• Offers performance feedback to help identify areas that need improvement
• Simulates the real-time testing experience

"Learning and using a foreign language is a matter of practice. While a student's desire to learn will play a large part in his or her success, what is most essential is practice!” asserts Philippe Grosskost, Managing Director, ETS EMEA. “Practice is what enables students to apply their theoretical knowledge, learn from their mistakes and ultimately, use the language as it is meant to be used in everyday situations."

The practice product is delivered online, and as such, is accessible 24/7 from anywhere – the classroom, home or a language lab.
