Instructor:  S. Raskin

TEXTBOOK:            LONGMAN COMPLETE COURSE FOR THE TOEFL TEST

                             with Answer Key and CD-Rom

DESCRIPTION:       Grammar for the TOEFL is designed for students who need                                additional focus on grammar skills.  Grammar (structure) is a                             required part of the traditional paper and pencil TOEFL.  For                                  students who are preparing for the Institutional TOEFL at                                    BCC, this course will give particular attention to grammar                                       skills that are not directly covered or tested in the new                                       internet-based TOEFL (iBT) which is being introduced this                                 fall.

                             Relying on the grammar section (Part 2) of the textbook,                                   students will have the opportunity to study and practice                                     the two types of questions, and the 60 structure skills                                  required for the Institutional TOEFL.

                             In order to cover the material in text adequately, students                                  will be expected to do a substantial amount of homework                              each week.

Note:  To receive Certificates of Attendance, students must have at least 75%     attendance for the course (no more than 3 absences).

NO CLASS on Monday, October 31^st (Professional Development Day)
