In this video, Josh MacPherson from TST Prep, reviews a product from ETS called the TOEFL Speaking series. This product provides detailed feedback on your speaking delivery for each of the TOEFL Speaking questions.
Watch this video until the end to learn exactly what you need to do to score high in the TOEFL Speaking section.

Hi there, I just received my TOEFL ibt score today. I want to thank Josh for his amazing tips he shared in his videos, especially the templates for speaking section. Just by listening to his tips and using his templates, I scored 30/30 in speaking. I had scored 23/30 in speaking in my previous exam 2 weeks ago. I would suggest all the TOEFL aspirants to watch his videos and practice several times before exam. Thank you so much Josh for sharing helpful tips. You are the best TOEFL teacher I found so far !!!

Elena Congratulations! A few questions :) When you are in the speaking/listening section, how that worked for you if you have more people close to you? Did you hear them when they were in the same section? Are they loud? That is something that worries me. To much noise from the other students. Thank you!
@Elena-pk6kw 4 жыл бұрын
@@drerikager Hi and thank you! I have to be honest and say that you hear others because you are sitting next to each other and they are talking loud which you can hear. So you have to be really focused. I had problems with that. Especially at the end of the reading section( I had 4 passages, while most of others had 3) so I heard them when they started listening section.. It was hard to focus on reading because sentences are long and hard to reed. And on listening part I also heard others.. And that was the hardest. I couldn't focus. Listening section was the hardest for me, because of the focus. You are listening really long lectures with a lot of informations. But I want also to tell you that this is something we all experience! Try to learn how to focus with noises around you. Try doing toefl practicing test with some type of noises around. I didn't do this unfortunately because I didn't know. When do you have your exam? If you have more questions, just ask :)

Thank you so much, Josh. It's so valuable. Uph agree about casual speech problem. I start to analyze when I think before speaking. It's when you're afraid to use casual phrases or slang words you've picked up from TV or books in your response and you start to slow down. That's a real one problem to be stuck with inventing something ahah while recording. So hard to get rid of it. I mean maybe it's fine in real life, but you got to stay formal but not too much at the same time somehow:)

Considering that I do not have much time left, I am watching the videos at 1.25x speed. This means that I am practicing listening by being an active listener, since I know what I want to understand, and at the same time I am also gaining more knowledge on the other sections. My current best TOEFL score is 100, with 21 points being on listening, and maintaining the others 25+. I am hoping to reach 25 on each section on this TOEFL.

Hi, Great tips! I am facing these two challenges: Firstly, I often end up using long sentences and use too many words to describe anything. Secondly, I often tend to re-structure my sentences if I find myself unable to complete it and therefore I end up explaining the same thing in a structurally different manner and this takes up a lot of time. Any tips on how I can overcome these two problems. Thanks :)

Hi! In the last speaking question, is it OK to only focus on what is being asked even if a significant amount of information from the lecture is excluded? Thank you very much for your videos!
@joanna50122 2 жыл бұрын
Josh, thank you for all the information you shared! For the speaking practice from ETC you recommended, do you know that if it is a only one time practice, or I can practice it several times( doesn't matter if it only has one set of questions) to see if my score can improved by the SpeechRater. does it also applied to the writing practice? thank you in advanced!

Hi Joanna and thank you for your question. I believe there is a limited amount of time you can practice, but there is a new site that uses speech rater technology where you can practice more often, I will put the link below. As far as I know, the automatic writing e rater is not available for the public and the closest thing would be Grammarly's academic essay checker, I will link to both now - My Speaking Score - www.myspeakingscore.com/ - www.grammarly.com/edu

Nice job dear tutor! Would you clarify how we can speed up our speech like an American native speaker?
@TSTPrep 4 жыл бұрын
Great question and a tough one to answer. We are current working on practice activities to address this issue, but one way is to learn more about "thought groups". These are groups of words that are typically clustered together. For example, I don't say "according / to / the / professor" I say "according to the professor" in one breath. Practicing some of these popular phrases that you will have to say on test day will help.

And another thing: teacher I know a lot of words and vocabulary but when I want to speak for 45 sec for speaking part of TOEFL I can't use them instead I'd unconsiously use the previous words I'd know before. And even if I want to use them I deplete my time in order to find the innovative word I'm looking for. What would you recommend? Regards, Omid Amjadi

I received my toefl score yesterday. I got a 113 with subscores of Reading/30 Listening/30 Speaking/23 Writing/30. It's obvious the speaking section is the hardest section for me. I believe my main problem is that I always speak over the time limit. Does ETS deduct a lot your speaking score if you speak over the time limit ?
@TSTPrep 3 жыл бұрын
The recording stops at a 45 (60) - second mark, and the evaluators don´t hear what you say after that, so yes, if you speak over the time limit, it may negatively affect your score. Still, there are other important aspects of your response that are graded.

Hi Josh, I heard that it’s better if you don’t repeat words within a speaking question’s answer can I repeat the same words for different speaking questions’ answers? For example in question 2 (campus announcement) and question 3 (integrated lecture) use STATES in both: “The campus announcement states...” and “The lecture states that...” Would it affect my score?
@TSTPrep 3 жыл бұрын
I don't see a problem with that. According to a few sources at ETS, each question is graded by a different grader so they focus on an individual question and there is less of a chance of a mistake in the score with multiple graders. I hope this helps!

Must I speak with American accent in the TOEFL IBT? Is it an "implicit" grading criteria or not? I guess the main point is speaking like a native, isn't it? Independing on the nationality.. However, as TOEFL is from the North-America, it may consider cultural speaking issues. How well is conceived the British accent, for example? Thank you for the video! Patrícia.

Good question and of course, ETS does not release that type of information but if possible, try to vary your vocabulary. You do not want to sound the same for each question. However, I do NOT think you will be deducted points since each question has a different grader.
