If you've started preparing for the new TOEFL speaking, specifically the listen and repeat test, let me guess.

This is probably how it goes, right?

Fire drills are conducted once each semester, and all residents must evacuate immediately when the alarm sounds.

All residents must evacuate when the alarm sounds.

That's all I remember.

as the sentences get longer and more complex you understand every single word but

when it's your turn to speak you simply go blank you

are literally at a loss for words you don't know what to say maybe you forget half of the sentence

or all of it i've been there friend this is very familiar to me.

I can speak English fluently.

I can talk to anybody.

Like, what in the world?

Like, I want to get native speakers to perform this task and I want to see how well they do.

Seriously.

But hang on, friends.

I've got good news.

With enough practice and the right strategies, you can significantly improve your performance on the listen and repeat task.

By the end of the session, teams will choose one realistic sustainability goal.

By the end of this session, teams will choose one sustainable realistic goal.

Okay, you see, so I finally got a six here.

It wasn't perfect.

I mean, the first six questions were really good.

But then this one, I knew I forgot something.

but you see using the note-taking strategy was a game changer

and this is what I'm going to share with you today five strategies to master the listen

and repeat test well

if this is your first time here my name is Natalie

I earned an overall score of six out of six on the new TOEFL ibt test

but above all i'm a very passionate english teacher my mission

is to help english learners navigate their way to fluency without fear

or overwhelm and this is the same thing that i do

when i teach tofell prep i've been helping learners for the

past decade to achieve their target score on the toefl as well

so if you have any questions about my classes my programs

check out the link in the description below first off we need to understand what the listen

and repeat test is actually testing many students think

that this task is only about pronunciation

but pronunciation is just a part of it honestly the listen

and repeat test measures how efficiently your brain processes spoken language because listen you have to understand what you hear

hold the information in your short-term memory, repeat it immediately using the same words,

and then match the speaker's rhythm, pace, and intonation.

In other words, you are temporarily storing and reproducing spoken language in real time.

And that's why this task feels challenging, even for students with strong English skills.

Fortunately, there are several strategies that that can make it much easier.

I said easier, not easy, right?

Strategy number one, know what to expect.

One of the simplest things you can do is familiarize yourself with the length of each question.

So for example, the first sentences are relatively short, but then they gradually become longer and more complex

and knowing this ahead of time helps you prepare mentally

so you're not surprised when you reach the final questions

so rather than treating every sentence the same expect the difficulty

to increase as the task progresses a very good way to

measure the length of the sentences is to know the number of syllables in them.

So, by syllable, I mean the number of beats.

So, for example, sentences 1 and 2 usually have 9 to 11 syllables.

So, for example, welcome to the technology lab.

This one has 9 syllables.

So, that is an easy one, right?

So, 1 and 2.

sentences three through five you have about 14 to 16 syllables

and then sentences six and seven the last ones right have about 19 to 23 syllables

that could be up to 15 words 15 16 words

per sentence that's a lot you understand why i'm emphasizing the number of syllables later on in video

because it's actually part of another strategy

but what better way to familiarize yourself with this task than

to practice a lot this is why students in my toefl

coaching program have access to hundreds hundreds of practice questions with instant ai feedback

and personalized feedback from me a lot of guidance from me i've partnered with this amazing platform called pre-packs

and they have so much i've tested different platforms

and this is my favorite i just love how detailed their feedback is

so if you're my student

if you're my coaching program you have access unlimited access to pre-packs during your coaching program strategy number two 2.

Maximize your score on the first 5 questions.

One important thing many students don't realize is that each sentence is scored independently, as far as I know.

So based on scoring information available so far, every sentence appears to contribute equally to your overall score.

So that means that performing well on the first five questions can help offset mistakes on the final two

so the bottom line is really try to do well on the first five sentences

if you do

that that's really going to help your score that's probably why

i was able to score 5.5 out of 6 even though i had trouble with the last two sentences

when I took the TOEFL test a few months ago.

I wasn't very familiar with this question back then.

That's why I took the test as well, to be able to better help my students

because I want to be in their shoes and know exactly what they have to go through, right?

And so back then, I didn't know all the strategies that I know now,

but I did do well on the first five questions

and then the last two I had a little bit of trouble remembering the words

but I still scored 5.5 out of six because yeah I focused on getting the first five questions right.

Strategy number three, use different memory techniques,

memory techniques, throughout the task so what i'm about to share are the techniques

that have worked well for me and many students okay

but i really want to encourage you to experiment

and discover what works best for you we're all different right

i always say there's no one size fits all approach here

when it comes to toefl prep or anything in life

so the first strategy okay under this umbrella of memory strategies is repetition.

So for the first few questions, I'd say one through four,

I often repeat the sentence in my head or whisper it quietly while I'm listening.

Something like this.

100

I want you to look at this clip.

101

By the end of the session, teams will choose one realistic sustainability goal.

102

So when I do this, this helps keep the sentence active in your mind

103

and it can make it easier to recall the sentence a few seconds later.

104

The second thing I do is I count the number of syllables.

105

Yes.

106

So, this strategy helps me reconstruct the sentence.

107

Because, you know, English has predictable stress and rhythm patterns.

108

So, if I listen to a sentence and I hear 11 syllables.

109

So, for example, the sentence, The petting zoo and animals are to the right.

110

So the petting zoo and animals are to the right.

111

11 syllables.

112

So when it's my turn to speak, I repeat the sentence while mentally, actually using my fingers to count as well.

113

So I'm like whispering the sentence.

114

The petting zoo and animals are to the right.

115

Okay.

116

Yeah, this really, really helped me when I last took the TOEFL test.

117

Then the other technique that I have, the third one under the umbrella of memory techniques, is chunking.

118

I've talked about chunking before here on the channel, but basically instead of trying to remember word by word,

119

you can break the sentence into smaller groups of words.

120

For example, instead of remembering the student should meet outside the library before the campus tour begins,

121

instead of remembering every single word, you would try to group these words into smaller groups.

122

So the student should meet, that's a chunk, outside the library, that's another chunk, before the campus tour begins.

123

And why is this technique so important?

124

Because this is what our brain does this is how our brain processes speech we group words into smaller chunks

125

but here's the thing i'm going to be honest i think the theory here is beautiful

126

and this is what i do when i'm working with students

127

when i'm focusing on their fluency we talk a lot about chunks about collocations

128

but for this task i'm referring to this task this technique doesn't seem to work really well for me

129

because when I try to focus on the chunks on grouping words I focus on the idea of the sentence

130

and then I end up paraphrasing or using synonyms instead of repeating the sentence

131

and this can hurt your score really badly

132

because the idea of this task is to listen

133

and repeat what you hear so I've tried this technique before

134

but i end up paraphrasing it uh the sentence every time i do it

135

because i tend to focus on the ideas rather than on the words

136

so you can give it a try try grouping the words into smaller chunks and see

137

if this works for you maybe it works for you it doesn't work as well for me okay personally

138

but i want to encourage you to try different techniques

139

and this is why i insist on practicing practicing a lot strategy number four take strategic notes on longer sentences

140

and i'm gonna have to give a shout out to joseph

141

at noteful toeful mastery i first heard of this technique from him even before bigger channels started sharing it

142

so of course i would like to give credit to whom credit is due

143

so this technique has been a game changer

144

so basically for questions five through seven if you only rely on your memory i don't think it's enough

145

it's not for me so one strategy

146

that i really like is to quickly very quickly write the first letter of each word

147

while i listen just the first letter

148

but sometimes um i'll write only the first half of the

149

sentence the first letters of the first half of the sentence

150

and then i try to rely on memory for the second

151

half it really depends on the topic it really depends on how familiar i am with the topic

152

because if it's something

153

that i'm not familiar with i usually try to write down every single letter

154

so but i have to be honest with you this technique takes a lot of practice as well

155

because you have to get good at writing the first letter only instead of writing the whole word because

156

when I first started using this technique I would sometimes write

157

down the whole word another thing too is don't become

158

so focused on your notes that you forget to sound natural

159

and if you sound like you're reading that's gonna hurt your score as well

160

because the goal isn't to read the sentence back it's to

161

repeat it it's to copy the speaker's intonation their rhythm their

162

pace how they link words together i mean it's a shadowing exercise

163

but under a lot of pressure right basically that's it

164

so believe me reading too slowly or sounding robotic can negatively affect your performance strategy number five

165

visualize what you hear so another technique

166

that works pretty well for me especially for questions one through

167

four we'll get to the final questions in a little bit so stay there

168

so this technique works because um i create this mental image in my head

169

while i'm listening and then this helps me stay focused it's like i put myself in

170

that situation like i really imagine that i'm right there

171

and somebody's giving me instructions

172

and this helps me stay focused it's really hard for me

173

to focus especially on this type of task i personally find

174

that the pictures provided by ets during the test the ones

175

that show up on your screen i find those very distracting

176

but everyone's different maybe you think they're helpful um

177

when i first started practicing i thought they were helpful

178

but i've realized that i tend to get really distracted so So putting myself in that situation,

179

like imagine that I'm right there in the zoo or museum or university, whatever context, this helps me stay focused.

180

So give it a try.

181

You've stayed until the end.

182

So let me share a bonus tip here.

183

I would say the last strategy for this video, really focus on improving your short term memory because

184

if your short-term memory is good everything else will be easier for you

185

so what can you do to improve your short-term memory you can definitely keep on practicing the listen

186

and repeat test practice shadowing repeating what you hear what people say to you

187

but remember your brain doesn't work in isolation to your body everything's connected so you need to take care of yourself

188

i know it's hard

189

but you need to sleep well you need to eat well

190

you need to exercise you need to go outside get some sunlight you need to prioritize your health

191

because if you're stressed out

192

if you're not sleeping well everything impacts your brain how it is functioning

193

if you need to take any kind of supplements do

194

so um or at least try as much as you can to eat well whatever

195

that means to you because everyone's different right you're also in different parts of the world

196

so try to focus on those foods or those things

197

that make you feel better strong i'm not talking about like a sugar high

198

or anything like that i'm talking about things that satisfy you

199

that make you feel energized i can't tell you enough how

200

many times i've worked with students whose english is beautiful

201

but they are so busy so overwhelmed that they can't focus well and this is life life is not easy

202

but try your best to take care of yourself

203

that is also going to improve your short-term memory

204

and will help you score well i find

205

that this is one missing piece in most coaching programs this is why my coaching program focuses on test-taking strategies,

206

language development, and emotional intelligence.

207

That's it.

208

That's the secret.

209

Okay, go take your test now or if you're feeling like you're not ready yet, I'm here to help you every step of the way.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
