Book excerpt: What vocabulary is necessary to score high on the TOEFL? How can I improve my vocabulary for this important test? How can I be a better TOEFL test taker?The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is an English proficiency test for students and professionals whose native language is not English and who wish to study or work in the United States, Canada, and many other English speaking environments. A great deal of misunderstanding persists about TOEFL vocabulary. It is often assumed that there is an endless list of words that can be tested, making the task of vocabulary learning seem almost impossible. Actually, the number of words that can be tested is quite limited and predictable, including only words with synonyms. In addition, because the TOEFL is a test for colleges, universities, and the professions, only academic vocabulary will appear. In Essential Words for the TOEFL, 450 words likely to appear on the TOEFL, from abroad to zenith, are defined, explained, and practiced. The book focuses on vocabulary building, selecting the most likely words to appear and teaching the student how to learn them. It also gives the student the tools with which to learn many other words. Matthiesen invested a great deal of research in this book. Essential Words for the TOEFL is the product of an extensive study of TOEFL vocabulary, including over 2,000 TOEFL vocabulary questions from dozens of different TOEFL tests (p. v). It identifies words and the synonyms which have appeared as both correct and incorrect answers. While 450 essential TOEFL words are introduced in the 30 lessons, a large number of derivative words also appear, raising the total number of words actually taught by the book to about 1200. In addition, the student has the opportunity to use these words in 150 practice TOEFL items. As much as 60% of the vocabulary tested on any given TOEFL form would consist of one of these words in either the stem or the options. If such a list were studied by students, they could show a considerable improvement in their score on the vocabulary section of the test.
