Introduction
Welcome to Step by Step TOEIC Bridge! This series is designed to help
beginning and intermediate students develop their listening, grammar, and
reading skills. Through practice of activities and problems modeled on the TOEIC
Bridge Test, students can become better test takers while developing basic
comprehension and communication skills in English.

The thematically organized, graded units within the series follow a three-step
format: Warm-up, Exercise, and Test.

Warm-up
Each unit begins with target vocabulary, a section which introduces key
words found within the unit. This warm-up vocabulary section is then followed
by the question-type preview and practice sections. In these sections, multiple
examples of common question types are presented and applied. These sections
also incorporate the target vocabulary, developing both word and question
recognition for common phrases and structures found on the TOEIC Bridge Test.

Exercise
After working through the Warm-up activities, students move on to a
simplified practice test in the Exercise section of the unit. The limited number of
answer choices in these activities provides students with the opportunity to
become acquainted with the test question format while keeping the activity
accessible to beginning and intermediate students.

Test
In the final section of each unit, students have the opportunity to practice
TOEIC Bridge-type questions, which follow the same format as those
encountered on the actual test. Because all questions in this section of the book
follow the theme presented in the unit, students will repeatedly encounter
vocabulary from earlier parts of the unit, reinforcing vocabulary acquisition and
comprehension.

Vocabulary is a critical factor in language development. With this in mind,


Step by Step TOEIC Bridge has been designed to help students build a solid
foundation of basic vocabulary. Each unit introduces a limited number of new
words while recycling vocabulary from earlier units in a variety of contexts across
the diverse themes presented within the series.

Step by Step TOEIC Bridge can help students smoothly progress from the
TOEIC Bridge Test to the TOEIC Test through strategic and organized practice at
a comfortable level.
