In this episode of The Deep Dive, we explore a fascinating yet often overlooked aspect of the TOEFL iBT: the power of asking questions. Drawing insights from the research paper Questioning in TOEFL iBT Speaking Test: A Case of Washback and Construct Under-Representation, we discuss how this vital skill impacts academic success and why it’s missing from the test’s structure.
