The Speaking System
ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE TOEFL® iBT (2026 Edition)
What's New in the 2026 Edition:
- Listen & Repeat
- The Interview
- Zero Prep Time
WHAT IS NEW IN THE 2026 TOEFL SPEAKING?
Stop memorizing templates for long lectures. The new TOEFL Speaking section is shorter, faster, and more personal. You are no longer summarizing academic talks; you are interacting.
- Listen and Repeat: You hear a sentence (3–9 seconds) and must repeat it exactly. This tests your short-term memory, pronunciation, and intonation.
- The Interview: You engage in a simulated online interview about your life, habits, and opinions. You must answer spontaneously without preparation time.
HOW THIS BOOK HELPS YOU PASS
Old TOEFL books focus on “integrated tasks” that no longer exist. This book focuses on the skills you actually need now:
- PROVEN “SHADOWING” TECHNIQUES: We teach you how to mirror native speaker rhythm and stress. This is the secret to scoring high on the “Listen and Repeat” task.
- AUTOMATIC FLUENCY: In the new Interview task, you have zero preparation time. We provide the sentence structures and “filler” phrases that allow you to speak instantly.
- PRONUNCIATION DRILLS: Targeting the sounds that B1–B2 learners struggle with (TH, R/L, V/W) to ensure your speech is clear to the AI raters.
