As a teacher of TOEIC reading, I attempt such an analysis in this paper. First, I describe the analytical
framework by evaluating the literature relevant to TOEIC reading comprehension. Second, I present
two case studies of TOEIC reading comprehension (two passages and three multiple choice questions
per passage) using the framework. Finally, I discuss classroom application in a reading class at
Ritsumeikan University in which I taught TOEIC test preparation.
