Tips to practice the listening section of TOEFL iBT

To me the most efficient method is to listen a lot and listen every day from TV shows to VOA news, from daily conversations to academic lectures. While listening I take notes. The book TOEFL iBT of Barron has many interesting tips for listening such as take notes only important ideas, use symbols to write fast, make relationships between ideas, divide the paper into 2 columns

You can listen to TOEFL practice on Youtube and other websites. It’s better to practice to listen to several types of Academic lectures. Lectures and news on VOA are very good to learn listening if you have the beginning or intermediate level of English. If you have the advance level, you should listen to other sources where speaker talk mush faster.

Some TOEFL books have many topics to practice listening. I listen to some TV channels every day. The channels I watch are CNN, ABC, NHK, CNBC.
