A Milestone Achievement in Language Learning

The International Institute for Business Communication (IIBC), responsible for administering the TOEIC Program in Japan, has reached a remarkable milestone with the release of the latest volume in the Official TOEIC Listening & Reading series. Surpassing a total of 3 million copies sold, this popular series continues to be a trusted resource for students and professionals preparing for the TOEIC test.

Scheduled to launch simultaneously on October 19, 2026, in both book and app formats, this edition is set to align with TOEIC Day—a date that celebrates English language enjoyment and engagement, creatively designated due to the pun on the number 1019 (TOEIC).

Why Choose the Official TOEIC Series?

The enduring popularity of this series can be attributed to its unique approach to preparation. The questions are crafted by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), the world’s largest nonprofit test development organization, ensuring that they mirror the actual test experience closely. This series is the only official question set that allows test-takers to simulate the real exam environment, fostering a deeper understanding and readiness.

3. Reading Aloud Audio: Enhance your comprehension with supplementary audio to help understand the reading section better.
4. Score Estimation Table: Each book includes a conversion chart that helps users understand their performance objectively and gauge their progress effectively.
