Why TOEFL speaking is different
On TOEFL iBT you speak into a microphone — no examiner. Most points come from integrated tasks: read + listen + speak in one chain.
A 15-second structure
- Hook (5s): clear thesis
- Body (35s): two reasons with lecture/passage detail
- Close (5s): brief wrap-up
Common trap
Building sentences in your first language first — it eats time and hurts delivery. Vekna Speaking Lab trains thinking in English.
