The TOEIC Service List
TOEIC Service List 1.2
On this page we will put various resources related to the new TOEIC Service List (Browne, C. & Culligan, B., 2016), also known as the TSL. Based on a 1.5 million word corpus of various TOEIC preparation materials, the 1200 words of the TSL 1.2 version gives 98.5% coverage of the most recent version of the TOEIC tests when combined with the 2800 words of the NGSL.
The 1.5 million word corpus consists of TOEIC textbooks, practice tests and TOEIC corpora gathered from other sources. A few of the textbooks used in the corpora are listed below.
