Kaplan Publishing hits the AppStore, again. Their latest offering include two Toefl apps – TOEFL Vocabulary Flashcards and TOEFL Idioms Flashcards.
Here’s a short description of each of the apps:
The TOEFL Vocabulary Flashcards app contains more than 350 words – from “ambiguous” to “stoic” – which students need to know for TOEFL test success. The words are used in context via sample sentences, and parts of speech are included to help users comprehend meaning and remember proper usage.
Likewise, the TOEFL Idioms Flashcards app includes more than 350 commonly used phrases, such as “to draw a blank,” “back to square one,” and “on the right track.” Because idioms make no literal sense, they can be particularly challenging for ESL students.
Both apps comes with professionally recorded audio pronunciations of all the words, definitions, and sample sentences to hone listening and speaking skills. Users can customize their learning experience by excluding from their focused study the words and phrases they already know… As for the pricing, each app costs 5 bucks, and there are also free, lite version available. Simply search for “Kaplan” in the iTunes to find them.
