They gain more chances of learning diverse cultures at the program, meanwhile they must meet the minimum requirement, taking part in TOEFL IBT and reaching a certain level. Therefore, how to prepare for the TOEFL IBT is the most important task for the students pursuing their further study. This article mainly focuses on the features of TOEFL IBT and the strategies of learning it.  \nKey words: listening-based tasks; TOEFL IBT; integrated skills; learning strategies  \n1. Introduction  \nAccording to the Report on international educational exchange, there were 67,723 students in the academic year 2006-2007 from China studying in the United States, and the majority of Chinese students study at the graduate level. China is the second-leading place of origin for students coming to the United States, following India with the number of 83,833 . Also, it was reported that scores for Chinese test takers in 2007 improved over 2006. Results show that the students are doing much better in mastering the communicative English skills necessary to succeed at the world’s leading universities.  \nThis is the current situation of Chinese TOEFL test takers. Compared with the complaints in the past from abroad academic institutes about the lower communicative competence of Chinese overseas students, Chinese people have greatly improved the English level to a new stage. This should owe to the successful implementation of communicative teaching approach in China and to the implementation of the TOEFL IBT (Internet-based Test), which is a test of integrated skills.  \n2. Differences between traditional TOEFL and TOEFL IBT  \nTraditional TOEFL focused on testing language skills separately, including listening, reading, writing and grammar, which resulted in the language competence but not communicative competence. Therefore, it was not surprising that Chinese overseas with high TOEFL marks could not even communicate successfully with the instructors on sites. This led to the reflection of the language itself. If language skills are not used in isolation, why should they be taught or tested in isolation?  \nTOEFL IBT is a proficiency test, not an achievement test. It is a test that reflects, as closely as possible, the kinds of language tasks and activities that students in academic environments are expected to do. It is a test of integrated skills, especially in the speaking and writing sections that simulates language as it is used on a daily basis in universities and colleges. It is not dependent on particular class content, course materials, or language programs.  \nLIU Shu-mei, M.A., associate professor of Foreign Languages School, Tianjin University of Commerce; research fields: linguistics, teaching methodology.  \nAnalyzing TOEFL IBT, we can get the main features of it. It tests all the four language skills that are important for effective communication: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The TOEFL IBT emphasizes the learners’ ability to use English effectively in academic settings, so some tasks require test takers to combine more than one skill. In order to succeed academically in English-speaking colleges and universities, learners need to be able to combine their language skills in the classroom while integrated questions or tasks help learners build the confidence they need to communicate in the academic environments they plan to enter.  \n3. Listening-based tasks in TOEFL IBT  \nAmong the four basic language skills, listening ability takes the most important part in TOEFL IBT. With the aim to measure the ability to communicate successfully in an academic setting, the new test puts the emphasis on communicative competence that combines more than one skill at each section.  \nApar","cbCaimliESwKkc3d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimliESwKkc3d","pdf",52293,"English","# Introduction\n# Differences between traditional TOEFL and TOEFL IBT\n# Listening-based tasks in TOEFL IBT\n## Listening\n## Speaking","[{\"question\":\"Why is preparing for TOEFL IBT important for Chinese students?\",\"answer\":\"TOEFL IBT is required for further study and assesses integrated academic skills.
