Filled with illuminating questions and answers, this comprehensive workbook provides exercises to help teach and build vocabulary related to the TOEIC examination. For nearly three decades, the Test Of English for International Communication (TOEIC) has been used to measure the ability of nonnative English speakers to use English in occupational situations. Through the puzzles, examples, and word games in this guide, students can get to know words in different contexts and become familiar with language use in the workplace. The material covered also includes grammar, comprehension, and spelling to fully prepare test takers for the TOEIC.

Check Your Vocabulary workbooks are aimed at non-native speakers who want to build essential vocabulary and learn to speak fluent and natural-sounding English. For example, in English we use different words to describe different types of food when they go bad. We can describe meat as rotten, cheese as mouldy, milk as sour and butter as rancid - but we would not say sour meat, or rotten milk. Knowing how words are naturally used together is known as collocation.A good knowledge of these word combinations greatly improves the style of written and spoken language for non-native speakers. Knowledge of collocations is often tested in exams such as IELTS, TOEFL and TOEIC.Containing a range of word games, quizzes and exercises, this workbook will help intermediate learners to develop core language skills in a challenging, yet entertaining way.
