LISTENING

Listening is tested in the first section on both the paper TOEFL test and the computer
TOEFL test. This section consists of a number of different types of listening passages,
each followed by one or more questions.

LISTENING ON THE PAPER TOEFL®TEST

On the paper TOEFL test, the first section is called Listening Comprehension. This
section consists of fifty questions (though some tests may be longer). You will listen
to recorded material and respond to multiple choice questions about the material. You
must listen carefully because you will hear the recording one time only and the
material on the recording is not written in your test book.
1. Short Dialogues are two-line dialogues between two speakers, each followed
by a multiple choice question. You will listen to each short dialogue and
question on the recording and then choose the best answer to each question
from the four choices in your test book. The thirty short dialogues and thirty
questions about them make up Part A of the paper TOEFL test.
2. Long Conversations are 60-90 second conversations on casual topics between
students, each followed by a number of multiple choice questions. You will
listen to each long conversation and each of the questions that accompany it on
the recording and then choose the best answer to each question from the four
choices in your test book. The two conversations and the seven to nine
questions that accompany them make up Part B of the paper TOEFL test.
3. Talks are 60-90 second talks about school life or academic subjects, each
followed by a number of multiple choice questions. You will listen to each
lecture and each of the questions that accompany it on the recording and then
choose the best answer to each question from the four choices in your test
book. The three lectures and the eleven to thirteen questions that accompany
them make up Part C of the paper TOEFL test.

SHORT DIALOGUES

Short dialogues are found in Part A in the Listening Comprehension section. For
each of the thirty short dialogues in this part of the test, you will hear a two-line
dialogue between two speakers followed by a multiple choice question. After you
listen to the dialogue and the question, you must choose the best answer to the
question from your test book. Look at an example of a short dialogue from the
TOEFL test.
