YOu might want to consider LanguEdge Courseware from ETS, makers of the TOEFL.
LanguEdge builds your students'communicative, academic English skills and prepares them for TOEFL testing. It is a classroom instructional tool, designed to help intermediate- and advanced-level students build confidence and ability.
How does it achieve that goal?
It offers practice with integrated tasks (for example, listening with reading or listening then speaking) that simulate how authentic language is used in college/university settings. Via practice and assessment, including prototype tests for the next-generation, web-based TOEFL (coming in 2004), LanguEdge is an opportunity to efficiently prepare your students' for the English-speaking "real" world.
As a teaching professional, by integrating asessment in your lesson plans, you can broaden your understanding of communicative competence, learning to score spoken and written responses using ETS criteria. (The software package includes a guide with teaching tips and a handbook for proper scoring.)
If you are interested in more information about changes to the TOEFL or wish to demo LanguEdge, please contact our office and I'll be happy to help you.
