LANGMaster COURSES are enhanced with a number of multimedia features that ordinary books do not have - texts accompanied by sound, interactive exercises,
a storybook cinema, and a number of full color illustrative pictures.

Beginner Level
This level is intended for those students, who are able to use simple sentences in the present or past tense and who have at least a passive knowledge of forming questions and negatives in English. The courses are also suitable for children (10 years or older), for whom a picture dictionary with some basic words is available. For easier understanding the texts and exercises are accompanied by many illustrations. Contains: The Long Tunnel (John Milne), The Garden (Elizabeth Laird), Dangerous Journey (Alwyn Cox), Rich Man Poor Man (T.C. Jupp).

Elementary Level
This level is intended for students, who are familiar with the basic grammar and vocabulary but their knowledge is mostly passive – they have problems understanding native speakers and they recall needed words with difficulty. The course will improve their listening comprehension and pronunciation and will activate and expand their vocabulary.

Contains: The Stranger (Norman Whitney), Room 13 and Other Ghost Stories (M.R. James), The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde), Riders of the Purple Sage (Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle).

Intermediate Level
This level is intended for students, who have been learning English for a number of years. They have a large vocabulary and a good knowledge of grammar, but they are still not satisfied with their ability. They are not comfortable making phone calls in English and they need to get the language under their skin.

The native speakers in the recordings speak more quickly and the texts are more complicated. Contains: The Sign of Four (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), Dracula (Bram Stoker), The Speckled Band and Other Stories (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), The Woman Who Disappeared (Philip Prowse).

LangMaster English in Action 4CD
English with WORLD famous personalities!
The English in Action edition focuses on listening and comprehension skills. It uses live videotape recordings of interviews as seen on the British Satellite TV station SKY
NEWS. It is real English with nothing added or taken away. Listening to, and studying these interviews is an ideal preparation for listening to radio broadcasts or watching
TV programs in English. Listening to English speakers from all walks of life will improve your comprehension and confidence and help you build conversation skills. In the
English in Action titles, you will meet a lot of interesting people and find that learning can be both entertaining and didactic. The English in Action Series has already been
localized into 12 major languages.
Just imagine that while watching a video in a foreign language you can…
* Read what is being said on screen...
* Stop and analyze any phrase or new word...
* Listen to each word or phrase over and over again...
* Record your voice and then compare it to the original word or phrase ...
* Listen to the phrase, write it down, and let the computer correct your spelling...

You will listen to and learn a language as it is really spoken by your favorite film star, by famous writers and politicians, or by leading businessmen and pop stars. You can listen to and watch e.g. Jackie Collins discussing her latest novel, Bill Clinton expressing his vision for the**** ure, Peter Sutherland debating business strategy, Kim Basinger talking about her life or even Bill Gates speaking about interactive multimedia.

The latest member of the English in Action Series family is The ROYAL FAMILY. Learn English from the members of the British Royal Family – Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Diana Princess of Wales. Learn about important events and experiences of their lives, like for example Trooping the Colour, Royal Garter Procession and Queen Mother's Birthday.

Product description:
The answer for success at the TOEFL® exam
The LANGMaster TOEFL® consists of two CD-ROMs – The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Preparation Course and The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Practice Tests. Each title is based on best-selling TOEFL® material published by the UK-based publishing house Macmillan Heinemann ELT. They are suitable for both in-class and self-study.

These courses will help you improve your knowledge of English and bring it to the level necessary to study at American Universities and elsewhere. They will also help you assess your knowledge and identify your weak areas. The courses include not only practice exams, but also complete grammar review and exercises focused on listening and reading comprehension. You will not only improve your grammar and vocabulary but also learn important strategies that will help you to succeed in TOEFL® exam.

The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® is not only a set of practice tests, it is a complete solution for students preparing for the TOEFL® exam. You can work through all the tests under the same conditions as during the real exam, including time pressure. You can see your score immediately after completing a test, review your mistakes and study the correct answers and their explanations. On the basis of your completed tests an Intelligent Personal Planner will design your Personal Plan, suggesting areas of study. The Practice Tests will help you eliminate your weaknesses in areas which could otherwise bring down your TOEFL® score.

The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Practice Tests are linked to the Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Preparation Course through the Personal Plan. There is a Notebook with a diary that enables you to take notes. The notes are then sorted and can be searched according to various criteria. The notes can also be recalled by a date on which they were created. Several users can work with the application at the same time, each of them working with their own Personal Plan for the TOEFL® exam.

Extra Facilities:
Personal Plan
The Intelligent Personal Planner is a unique feature in the program, which will help you find the weaker areas in your English and allow you to concentrate on them.

On the basis of completed tests the Intelligent Personal Planner will design your Personal Plan, suggesting areas of necessary improvement. The Personal Plan will help you eliminate weaknesses that could bring down your TOEFL ® score. The Personal Plan is divided into the same sections as the real TOEFL® test (Listening Comprehension, Structure and Written Expression and Reading Comprehension). The Personal Planner prioritizes the sections according to your performance (the weakest sections in will be first on the list).

Working with the plan is very simple. Start with a diagnostic test from The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Preparation Course. Then follow directions from the Assistant who will guide you through the checkpoints. Each checkpoint in your plan includes theory (grammar explanations and recommendations) and practice exercises. The Personal Planner cooperates with the Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Practice Tests - all the tests from this title will interact with your Personal Plan.

Notebook
The Notebook lets you take and sort your own notes you take during the course and other LANGMaster titles. You can take independent notes or attach notes to individual pages (screens) from the LANGMaster applications. Another important component of the Notebook is the Diary. It enables you to schedule chosen notes to be recalled on a specific date.

The Assistant
The Assistant will guide you throughout the course. He will monitor your improvement and guide you from task to task suggesting tests and exercises. He will evaluate your answers and help you follow your TOEFL Personal Plan.

Highlighted Features:
The LANGMaster TOEFL® materials provide a total solution for students' preparation for the TOEFL® examination through a series of interactive tests with diagnostic feedback.
The pioneering "dual publishing" approach is used which among other things makes possible a regular update of data using the Internet.

The student can sit each of the tests under the same conditions as those of a real examination, including time stress and test score evaluation.

Based on the student's actual performance in the tests taken, an Intelligent Personal Planner draws the student's attention to his or her individual weaknesses and suggests checkpoint texts for further study and exercises for remedial action – a process which leads to enhanced scoring in****ure tests.

An integral 'Notebook' feature acts not simply as location for notes but provides a forum for individual planned learning.
The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Preparation Course includes:

A complete diagnostic test
Two complete practice tests
68 checkpoints with practice exercises for each TOEFL skill
Checkpoint tests for each TOEFL exam section
Additional listening, grammar and vocabulary sections for extra practice
The Heinemann ELT TOEFL® Practice Tests includes:
Five complete practice tests
Test-taking strategies
Annotated answers to all tests
