Introduction
This blended-learning program is designed to help learners develop the skills and strategies they need to succeed on the TOEIC Listening & Reading Test. Through a mix of autonomous online practice and targeted activities, you'll improve your listening, reading, and test-taking techniques, all while managing your study time effectively.
Acquis d'apprentissage

Listening Comprehension: Learners will be able to accurately identify the main ideas and key details from various audio stimuli (e.g., conversations, announcements, and talks) typical of the TOEIC Listening section, by applying appropriate listening strategies (e.g., predicting content, identifying key words, and recognizing contextual clues etc.).
Reading Comprehension: Learners will demonstrate the ability to understand and interpret written texts (e.g., emails, articles, and notices) in the TOEIC Reading section by utilizing skimming, scanning, and inferencing techniques to answer comprehension questions efficiently.
Vocabulary and Grammar Accuracy: Learners will expand their TOEIC-relevant vocabulary and improve grammatical accuracy to enhance their ability to comprehend texts and dialogues, focusing on high-frequency words and structures used in professional and everyday contexts.
Time Management: Learners will develop the ability to manage their time effectively during both the listening and reading sections of the TOEIC exam by practicing under timed conditions, identifying personal pacing issues, and adjusting strategies accordingly.
Autonomous Learning Strategies: Learners will build independent study habits by using self-assessment tools, online platforms, and targeted exercises to identify personal weaknesses and track progress, fostering the ability to prepare for the exam outside of structured classroom settings.
Test-taking Strategies: Learners will be able to apply specific test-taking techniques, such as eliminating distractors in multiple-choice questions and prioritizing easier questions, to maximize their score in both the listening and reading sections.
Learners are expected to show self-respect, respect for others, and give their best at all times.
Learners should be ready for a high degree of interaction: in pairs, groups and in open class environments. Discussion will be the norm and everyone is expected to contribute in every class.
Learners should arrive to class ready to participate with the necessary materials
Use of all electronic devices is forbidden unless indicated otherwise.
Punctuality / Attendance:
Attendance is obligatory for all courses and exercises. Attendance will be registered at every session, with non-attendance impacting learner grades.
Learners are expected to be ready to start on time for each session. This means arriving prepared to work at least a few minutes early for class.
Learners arriving after the start time may be admitted to class (at the discretion of the teacher), but will be marked as late (impacting presence grade). Learners arriving 5 (or more) minutes late will be marked absent for the entire class. The same rules apply in returning from breaks.
It is the responsibility of the learner to make up for any and all missed work.
Participation:
Participation grades are based on the following criteria:
• Punctuality: on-time and ready-to-work (non-disruptive in time-keeping)
• Motivation: Only speaking English in Class, no use of translation tools
• Collaborative: Interacting appropriately during pair/group work
• Engagement: Participating appropriately in whole-class activities
• Focus: Remaining focused during teacher input and on class tasks
• Committed to Homework: Homework delivered on time and to the best of ability.
• Positive: Contributing to positive class atmosphere
Academic Integrity: Each assignment submitted for grading must be created solely by the student and without the use of automatic grammar and/or translation tools, as well as without the help of generative text tools, unless expressly stated otherwise by the instructor. Any work showing characteristic signs of such usage, which does not align with the student's level, will receive a grade of 0/20. The final decision will be made by the instructor and the course coordinator.
Academic Integrity:
Chaque travail soumis pour notation doit être créé u
Evaluation
All Grading will be on a scale of 0 to 20, unless otherwise stated.
Continuous Assessment (CC)
CC activities make up 2/3 of the final grade for the module (UV/UE).
• CC1: Test Strategies Study-Plan (Session 2)
• CC2: Mock TOEIC Listening & Reading Exam (Session 3)
• CC3: Self-Assessment & Study Plan (Session 3)
Presence & Participation (PP)
PP activities make up 1/3 of the final grade for the module (UV/UE)
• Presence Grade: Learners will receive credit for attending classes, and being on-time. Unjustified absences will thus have a direct impact on a learner’s overall grade.
• Participation Grade: Learners will be assessed on their participation in class, according to the criteria in ‘classroom expectations’
The is NO Final Exam (CF) for this module.
Validating the tandem program will add 2 bonus points to a learner’s CC grade of this language course.
Catch-up Exam (CF2)
In case of module failure (grade inferior to 10/20), a Catch-Up Exam (CF2) is organized.
The CF2 replaces the entire grade of the module (UV/UE).
The CF2 is a Mock TOEIC Listening & Reading Test administered under exam conditions. The pass rate (10/20) is calculated as equivalent to the required TOEIC score for learner graduation (as below).
CF2 Score: =if ( [[CF2 TOEIC Score]] <= [[Target TOEIC Score]], (10/ [[Target TOEIC Score]] ) * [[CF2 TOEIC Score]], 10 + (10/ (990-[[Target TOEIC Score]]) ) * ([[CF TOEIC Score]] - [[Target TOEIC Score]]))
Example: if a learner requires 850 points on the TOEIC for graduation, then 850 on the Mock TOEIC Listening & Reading Test will confer a grade of 10/20 for the module (UV/UE)
In cases where 2 or more session absences are unjustified, the CF2 grade is limited to 13/20.

Grades are subject to moderation by the course coordinator. The value of grades may increase or decrease
Approches pédagogiques
Pedagogical Materials (non-contractual):
Learners will engage with a variety of exam-focused resources across multiple platforms, designed to enhance both language proficiency and test-taking strategies.
• TOEICPrep SPOC Content:
Learners will work autonomously through structured online activities focused on key TOEIC strategies. These activities include listening and reading exercises, each working on a particular strategy for use during, or preparing for, the TOEIC Listening & Reading Test. Learners are encouraged to take detailed notes on challenging areas and prepare questions for checkpoint sessions.
• Practice Tests:
Full-length and mini TOEIC practice tests will be provided to simulate exam conditions. Learners will analyze their performance using self-assessment tools and receive feedback during checkpoint sessions.
• GlobalExam Platform:
Learners will access personalized training modules via a designated online platform (e.g. GlobalExam), which offers a range of TOEIC-style exercises. Regular practice on this platform is essential for improving speed and accuracy in both listening and reading sections. Learners are encouraged to track progress and reflect on areas for improvement before each checkpoint.
• Metacognitive Strategy Tools:
Study materials will introduce techniques for independent learning, goal-setting, and self-reflection. These resources will help learners enhance their language study habits, fostering long-term success beyond the TOEIC exam.
• Collaborative Peer Support:
During in-person sessions, learners may work in pairs or small groups to share strategies and provide mutual feedback. While collaboration is encouraged, each learner is responsible for their own progress and must actively contribute to group discussions.
• Tutorat Sessions (Optional):
Individual or pair tutor sessions will be available for personalized feedback or deeper exploration of difficult concepts. These sessions require self-signup and are subject to availability.
• Homework and Self-study:
Independent study is critical to success in this course. Learners should regularly engage with all materials provided, complete assigned tasks, and set realistic goals to guide their self-directed learning.
