I had never heard of TOEIC (Test of English in International Communication) before. This would also be helpful to ESL students, in addition to TOEFL test prep.
I did have to go to another online source to find out what the acronyms TOEFL and TOEIC stand for, so unless the patron has already heard of these tests, further explanation would be necessary.
The Job Search and Workplace Skills tab revealed some great resources. It covers not only the "paper" part of the process (resumes and letters), but the "people skills" part as well. I can think of specific patrons who would benefit from this resource. I am eager to share it with them.
I selected the Vocabulary and Spelling Course. The self-assessment at the beginning is helpful. As with other aspects of Learning Express, this is very user-friendly and not intimidating. I also like the Notebook feature which is provided.
The Search Smart and Get Ahead ebook is terrific. I plan to read through it more thoroughly later, as I work to improve my cyber literacy.
This whole process is really nifty! (Do I date myself with that adjective?) I can't wait to explore more, and share with our patrons.
Good for you, Gentle Reader! We like your enthusiasm! Thanks for your report. We always learn from our Challenge participants because we don't have time to try every test, course, or books ourselves. Glad you found some useful resources and are eager to share them!
