by Nigel A. Caplan

Step Up to the TOEFL(R)iBT is a skills-based textbook designed to address the needs of students who have not yet reached a language level to successfully prepare for the TOEFL(R) iBT. This volume does what no other textbook does: it helps intermediate-level students take a "step up" toward preparing themselves for the iBT by teaching and developing some of the grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation skills necessary to do well on the test.

Each of the eight units in Step Up addresses one rhetorical function (ranging from chronology and sequences to developing ideas and paraphrasing) and includes:
