Video Listening Comprehension Drill for TOEFL and TOEIC

Due to the huge file sizes, a broadband or a high-speed Internet connection is recommended.

Vocabulary Builder for GRE / SAT / TOEFL

To watch video files here, you need Real Player. If you don't have one, you can download it for free at real.com. The textstream is added by SMIL(Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language). You may find more information on SMIL authoring at http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/. The original text and video files are obtained from Voice of America, where everything is copyright-free.

For your listening comprehension exercise, I recommend that you watch and listen to an video-only file several times before you check your understanding with the captioned video file. Good luck! Wooseob. (Email: wjj8612@yahoo.com)
