The effects of an intensive TOEIC program for college students focusing on factors of participants' progress

This study aims to find out the effects of an intensive program for college students with a focus on TOEIC score improvement. During the three-week program, 120 students received 76 hours of TOEIC instruction, ten vocabulary tests, daily group study sessions and self-study time, and took two TOEIC mock tests and an official TOEIC test on the same month the program ended. Findings were that 140 points on average rose after the program and the difference was statistically significant. Throughout the program the attendance rate was 94.6% and the regression analysis undertaken to find out the relationship between attendance and percentage increase in TOEIC score proved statistically significant. Other variables such as their student year, gender, the college they attend, and GPA scores were looked into. It is estimated that for similar intensive programs, applicants with better GPAs and the students that have TOEIC scores between 300 and 500 are better candidates. Furthermore, for a successful program, strict attendance policies should be emphasized and daily vocabulary tests are to be given in the morning before classes. Also, various motivational awards should be provided for its success.
