Message If you seriously want to improve your TOEIC L&R Test score, I strongly recommend joining this course. It is difficult to improve your score without speaking English, so in this course you will be encouraged to speak English in the lessons. I believe the more you speak English, the higher TOEIC score you will get. TOEIC, is “a language” rather than “a subject”. You can also learn this “language” by speaking to create a basis for international communication for your future career. I look forward to your active participation in this course.
