Introduction to TOEFL iBT
TOEFL iBT (internet-based TOEFL) is designed to measure how well non-native speakers of English read, listen, speak, and write in English. The test has four sections: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Each section of the test is worth 30 points and the highest possible score on the iBT is 120 points (30 points x 4 sections). Most questions are worth 1 point each, but some of the questions in each section are worth more than 2 points.
For more information, visit the ETS website (www.ets.org).
Speaking Section
In the speaking section, there are a total of 6 different types of tasks. Therefore, test takers will be asked to answer 6 tasks in 20 minutes. The first two tasks are independent tasks that involve only speaking. The other four tasks are integrated tasks, in which the test taker is required to answer the question based on only the listening passage or both the reading and listening passages.
It is also important to know the description of each task in order to understand the point.
Winning TOEFL Speaking series
It consists of eight units and an actual test. Each unit is divided into two tasks: an independent task and an integrated task. Each task in every unit is classified in a different color. The independent task is in green and the integrated task is in orange. Both tasks include one practice section and one test section. This book is for beginner-level students, so it is slightly easier than the original passages seen
on the actual TOEFL.
Each unit consists of two big tasks and each task consists of four big sections individually. Each section has the following subsections:

Introduction
Target TOEFL iBT Question
This part introduces what types of question students will deal with in this unit. Each unit focuses on the following types of TOEFL iBT speaking questions:
Key Expressions
This is the first part of the task. Students are provided with some key expressions that should be learned in advanced to complete the task. With those key expressions in mind, students are asked to do Let's Practice. This can be done individually or with a partner depending on circumstances.
Practice
(1) Get Started
This part functions as a warming-up activity. This helps students to understand new words and expressions that will be used in order to do the next part. Students are asked to do most of the vocabulary activities and have some fun at the beginning.
(2) Get Ready
Independent Task
This part functions as a guiding activity that helps the student to answer the TOEFL iBT question. Students are required to ask and answer some light questions that are all related to the TOEFL iBT question. These questions and Practice Speaking boxes are to encourage students to closely follow the sample response.
Integrated Task
This part functions as a guiding activity that helps the student to answer the TOEFL iBT question. Students are required to perform a dictation, note-taking and some comprehension checking. These questions and Practice Speaking boxes are to encourage students to closely follow the sample response.
(3) Speak Up
Students are asked to combine all of the responses they have learned in Practice Speaking boxes. They should be able to reach the ideal response due to the guided processes they have gone through.
Check Your Response
A sample response has been recorded by native speakers. Students are asked to listen to this sample response and to take notes on this. This will help students with both their listening and note-taking skills.
Test
This is the last part of the task. Students are given a TOEFL iBT question and are asked to create their own response. Provided with some idea tips and key expressions, students are encouraged to make an outline and create their own response. They are asked to time how long it takes to answer the question.
Actual Test
Six tasks are provided as an actual test. The test questions contain longer reading and listening passages that are similar to the real TOEFL iBT questions, so that students will be able to have an overall view on the real TOEFL iBT questions.
