Information on the Speaking Section
The Speaking section of the TOEFL? iBT measures test takers’ English speaking proficiency. This section takes approximately 17 minutes and has four questions. The first question is called Independent Speaking Task, and you will be asked to speak about a familiar topic based on your personal preference. The remaining three questions are Integrated Speaking Tasks, and you will be required to integrate different language skills—listening and speaking or listening, reading, and speaking.
Types of Speaking Tasks
[ Independent Task ]
Task 1: Personal Preference
_ This task will ask you to make and defend a personal choice between two possible opinions, actions, or situations. You should justify your choice with reasons and details.
_ You will be given 15 seconds to prepare your answer and 45 seconds to say which of the two options you think is preferable.
[ Integrated Tasks ]
Task 2: Reading & Conversation
_ This task will ask you to respond to a question based on what you have read and heard. You will first read a short passage presenting a campus-related issue and will then listen to a dialogue on the same topic. Then, you will be asked to summarize one speaker’s opinion within the context of the reading passage.
_ You will be given 30 seconds to prepare your answer and 60 seconds to speak on the question. You should be careful not to express your own opinion in your response.
Task 3: Reading & Lecture
_ This task also asks you to respond to a question based on what you have read and heard. You will first read a short passage about an academic subject and will then listen to an excerpt from a lecture on that subject. Then, you will be asked to combine and convey important information from both the reading passage and the lecture.
_ You will be given 30 seconds to prepare your answer and 60 seconds to speak on the question.
Task 4: Lecture
_ In this task, you will first listen to an excerpt from a lecture that explains a term or concept and gives some examples to illustrate it. Then, you will be asked to summarize the lecture and explain how the examples are connected with the overall topic.
_ You will be given 20 seconds to prepare your answer and 60 seconds to respond to the question.
Types of Speaking Topics
(1) Personal Preference
_ Questions in Task 1 will be about everyday issues of general interest to test takers. For example, a question may ask about a preference between studying at home and at the library, a preference between living in a dormitory and an off-campus apartment, or a preference between a class with a lot of discussion and one without discussion.
(2) Campus Situations
_ Questions in Task 2 will be about campus-related issues. For example, a question may ask about a university policy, rule, or procedure, future university plans, campus facilities, or the quality of life on campus.
(3) Academic Course Content
_ Questions in Task 3 will be about academic subjects. For example, a question may ask about a life science, a social science, a physical science, or a topic in the humanities like animal domestication or economics.
_ Questions in Task 4 will also be about academic-related topics. For example, a question may ask about a process, a method, a theory, an idea, or a phenomenon of any type in fields like natural science, social science, or psychology.
Important Features of Evaluation
(1) Delivery
Delivery means how clear your speech is. In order to get good grades on the speaking tasks, you should speak smoothly and clearly, have good pronunciation, pace yourself naturally, and have natural-sounding intonation patterns.
(2) Language Use
Language use is about the effectiveness of your use of grammar and vocabulary to express your ideas. In order to get good grades on the speaking tasks, you should be able to use both basic and more complex language structures and choose the appropriate words.
(3) Topic Development
Topic development is related to how fully you respond to the question and how coherently you give your ideas. In order to get good grades on the speaking test, you should make sure that the relationship between your ideas and your progression from one idea to the next is clear and easy to follow.
