It is important to know what this test is about for two reasons. First, non-educational institutions use this test to measure student's ability to speak English. Second, the question types of TAST are used in the new generation TOEFL-iBT test.  \nThe TOEFL Academic Speaking Test (TAST) lasts approximately 20 minutes. During the test, students will answer 6 speaking questions over the telephone. Two of the questions ask about familiar topics. Four questions ask about short conversations, lectures, and reading passages. The questions and the reading passages are printed in the test book. The time students will have to prepare your response and to speak is printed below each question. Students should answer all of the questions as completely as possible in the time allowed.  \nQuestion Types  \nExercise:  \nAs you read through the question types, answer the sample questions. Don't forget to time your preparation and response time. (A stop watch is a useful tool in a TOEFL class) .  \n\n| Question 1: Personal Experience\u003Cbr>Students will be asked to speak about a person, place, object, or event that is familiar to them.\u003Cbr>Scoring criteria:\u003Cbr>ability to speak clearly\u003Cbr>ability to speak fluently\u003Cbr>ability to speak coherently\u003Cbr>relevance to the topic |\n| --- |\n| Question 2: Personal Preference\u003Cbr>Students will be presented with two possible actions or situations and they will be asked to decide which of the actions or situations they prefer. They will have to further explain the reasons for their choice.\u003Cbr>Scoring Criteria:\u003Cbr>ability to state and support an opinion\u003Cbr>ability to convey the information clearly, fluently, and coherently Sample Question:\u003Cbr>Some prefer to travel alone. Others prefer to travel in a group. Which way of travelling do you prefer and why?\u003Cbr>Preparation Time: 15 seconds\u003Cbr>Response Time: 45 seconds |\n\nQuestion 3: Reading/Listening/Speaking Situation  \n1. Students will read a short passage about a topic of campus related interest.  \n2. They will then listen to a person or two people discussing something directly related to that topic.  \n3. They will be asked a question about the connection between what they have just read and listened to.  \nScoring Criteria:  \nability to understand information or opinions in the two sources ability to organize and draw requested connections between the two sources  \nability to convey the information, opinions, and connections clearly, fluently, and coherently  \nability to provide a complete response  \nability to speak accurately Sample Question:  \nReading time: 45 seconds  \nNew Museum  \nVienna's city coucil has decided to renovate their museum. The museum is located in the historical part of the city. One proposal is to build a building that fits the historical architecture. Another proposal is to build a modern building consisting of glass blocks. The cost of both buildings is nearly the same. The modern glass building might be considered more visually disturbing by some and the historical building could be considered boring by others.  \nThe student expresses concerns about one of the proposals. State the concerns and explain how they relate to the city council's decision between the two alternatives.  \nPreparation Time: 30 seconds  \nResponse time: 60 seconds  \nQuestion 4: Reading/Listening/Speaking Academic  \nStudents will read a short passage about an academic subject. Next, they will listen to a short talk on that subject. They will then be asked a question about the information provided in the reading text and the conversation.  \nScoring Criteria:  \nability to understand information from the two sources  \nability to draw clear connections between them  \nability to convey the information clearly, fluently, and coherently ability to provide a complete and accurate response  \n\n| Qu","cbCaij5p2w4uG4LR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij5p2w4uG4LR","pdf",192385,15,"English","# TOEFL Speaking Overview\n## Two Tests: TAST and TSE\n# TOEFL Academic Speaking Test (TAST)\n## Test Length and Format\n## Question Types\n## Question 1: Personal Experience\n## Question 2: Personal Preference\n## Question 3: Reading/Listening/Speaking Situation\n## Question 4: Reading/Listening/Speaking Academic\n## Question 5: Listening/Speaking Situation\n## Question 6: Listening/Speaking Academic\n# Test of Spoken English (TSE)\n## Purpose and Target Candidates","[{\"question\":\"What are the two TOEFL speaking tests mentioned in the document?\",\"answer\":\"The document describes TOEFL Academic Speaking Test (TAST) and the Test of Spoken English (TSE).\"},{\"question\":\"How long is the TOEFL Academic Speaking Test (TAST) and how many questions does it include?\",\"answer\":\"TAST lasts approximately 20 minutes and includes 6 speaking questions answered over the telephone.\"},{\"question\":\"What question types are included in TAST?\",\"answer\":\"TAST includes questions on personal experience, personal preference, reading/listening/speaking connections, reading/listening academic topics, a listening/speaking situation with solutions, and an academic lecture-based listening/speaking task.\"}]","TOEFL Speaking - TOEFL Academic Speaking Test (TAST) - Question Types & Preparation Guide | PDF",1790809952,38]
