Posted: Jan 13, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 159 |

Did you know the seemingly listening section of the TOEFL can really prove dangerous unless mastered properly? Since the listening test comprises different accents spoken by English speaking people, mastering all required skills is a must to get a good score. In this article, we present a few tips which we think will help you optimize your score in the listening section of the TOEFL.

As different dialects used by people of different English speaking countries appear in the listening section, you must be able to identify each individual sound. Hence, we suggest you to watch selective programs like sitcoms and hour-long dramas on TV on a regular basis. Why should you follow only these programs? Because these programs are spoken in dialogue and deal, finally with problems and solutions, and are similar to the conversation you will encounter on the TOEFL. You should take notes and make sure to identify the problems and solutions while listening to sitcoms and the hour-long drama. Start doing research on any idioms or slang you might hear. This will come in handy for you in the exam because many rhetorical function questions deal directly with idiomatic expressions.

Download news articles from a variety of sources like news articles from the BBC or Business English from I-tunes where English spoken words are used and listen to these words at least for half an hour every day. This will help you expand your vocabulary and even improve your pronunciation.

Keep in mind each difficult skill would appear very easy provided you have done a lot of practice on these skills.  Remember, the Toefl Test does not expect you to have a previous knowledge in any of its materials used in the test, so don’t panic if you find questions coming from any unrelated source. What you need to do is to practice as many listening exercises as possible before approaching the final test.

Though there are end numbers of materials and practice tests on the listening section of the TOEFL are available at your door steps, you must select the best one. We suggest you to follow the guidelines and strategies provided by Manhattan Review India.
