TOEFL iBT Speaking Read this chapter to learn Introduction to the Speaking Section The TOEFL iBT Speaking section is designed to evaluate the English speaking proficiency of students whose native language is not English but who want to pursue undergraduate or graduate study in an English-speaking context. Like all the other sections of the TOEFL iBT, the Speaking section is delivered via com- puter. In the Speaking section you will be asked to speak on a variety of topics that draw on personal experience, campus-based situations, and academic-type con- tent material. There are six questions. The first two questions are called Independent Speaking Tasks because they require you to draw entirely on your own ideas, opinions, and experiences when responding. The other four questions are Integrated Speaking Tasks. In these tasks you will listen to a conversation or to an excerpt from a lecture, or read a passage and then listen to a brief dis- cussion or lecture excerpt, before you are asked the question. These questions are called Integrated Tasks because they require that you integrate your English- language skills—listening and speaking, or listening, reading, and speaking. In responding to these questions, you will be asked to base your spoken response on the information in the listening passage or on both the listening passage and the reading passage together. Ti p For all the questions in the test you are given between 45 to 60 seconds to respond. So when practicing, time your speech accordingly. The Speaking section takes approximately 20 minutes. Response time allowed for each question ranges from 45 to 60 seconds. For Speaking questions that involve listening, you will hear short spoken passages or conversations on head- phones. For Speaking questions that involve reading, you will read short written passages on your computer screen. You can take notes throughout the Speaking 165 sect
