The TOEFL iBT® Listening section is designed to measure your ability to understand conversations and lectures in English. It includes listening for:
basic comprehension
pragmatic understanding (speaker's attitude and degree of certainty) and connecting and synthesizing information
There are 2 types of listening items in the Speaking section — lectures and conversations. Both use campus-based language.
3–4 lectures, each 3–5 minutes long, with 6 questions per lecture
2–3 conversations with 2 speakers, each 3 minutes long, with 5 questions per conversation
You can take notes on any audio item throughout the test to help you answer questions. You have 41 to 57 minutes to complete the section.
