TOEFL Listening - How to Take Notes for Lectures
Taking notes for lectures in TOEFL Listening can be difficult because they are often long and complex. Therefore, you need a strategy that helps you take notes for TOEFL Listening so that you can answer the question correctly. I show you how to take effective notes for lectures. Use this note taking strategy to get a high score in TOEFL Listening.

The Structure of Lectures
In TOEFL Listening all lectures have the same basic structure: each lecture has an introduction, a body and a conclusion. However, there are different types of lectures and this is reflected in the body paragraph. It is important that your notes reflect this structure because this will help you immensely when answering the questions in TOEFL Listening.
1) The Theories Lecture
In this type of lecture the professor talks about several theories that explain something. For example, she may present different theories about the extinction of dinosaurs.
Usually, this lecture goes like this: First, the professor states the name of the theory. You should write this down because this is your heading for all the information that the professor is going to provide regarding this theory. Second, she explains what this theory says. You should write down a few keywords regarding this explanation. After that she may state arguments for and/or arguments against this theory. I recommend writing down a + for arguments in favour of the theory and a - for arguments against the theory because this saves you time. It is important that you take notes in this way because these are the key points of the lecture. You need these key points in order to answer the questions in TOEFL Listening correctly.
At some point the professor will go on and talk about the second theory. It is likely that she is going to use the exact same structure as for the first theory and this means that you can use the same structure for note taking. Usually, the professor goes on like that until she has explained all the theories she wanted to talk about. It is likely that she is going to draw a conclusion about which theory currently prevails. Make sure that you do not miss that because you may get a question about that.
2) The 1-Topic Lecture
In this lecture type the professor talks about a single topic. For instance, she might talk about a disease or a theory. Usually, the professor divides the body of the lecture into several parts. You must listen actively for that because this determines how you have to take notes.
For example, imagine that the professor talks about a disease. She may point out the causes for this disease, the consequences of the disease, and how the disease can be cured. These are the key points of the lecture and it is likely that you will have to answer questions about these points. Or imagine that the professor talks about a specific theory. She might provide an explanation, talk about the history of the theory, and the reactions of scientists to this theory.
You can clearly see that this type of lecture is divided into several parts. Whenever the professor starts to talk about a new point in her lecture, you should write this down. For example, if she talks about causes of a disease, you write down ‘causes’ and then you put all the information related to that under this heading. Leave a blank line between each point because this will help you find the information quickly when you answer the questions in TOEFL Listening.

Thanks a lot for this video, Juva! If you have time, please upload videos about creating ideas for Independent speaking questions. I really appreciate your help. Thank you!
@@theguyfromletpandan2175 I'm so glad you like the video Tun! I noted your wish :).
I can't get access for the templates, because when I click on the link, It can't open, what should I do about it?
Hi Juva, I’m a working dad and do not have time for any live classes, so that I self-studied for my TOEFL by following a few channels on TH-cam including yours. I took the test today and scored (unofficial though) 30 and 26 in reading and listening respectively. Thanks a lot for your lessons and tips, without which I would not be able to do what I have done. 😊
Congratulations Win! Your scores are awesome, you can be so proud of yourself. I'm so glad I could help :).
Can you please mention which other channels did you refer to?
I love all your videos, especially you walk the whole process of writing step by step. Thanks Juva!!!
I'm so glad you like them :). You're so welcome!
Hi Juva, I had the TOEFL test a week ago and got 101 (R: 25, L:26, S:25, W:25). Many thanks for your content and it really helped me a lot. I just had two days to prepare unfortunately; however, your videos saved my time by quickly grabbing main things.
Congratulations Samaya! Your scores are amazing, you can be so proud of yourself! I'm so glad I could help :).
Hey juva. Just wanted to tell you I scored 94 in my overall toefl score! I prepared for toefl in under a week, but just watched your videos and they were so helpful!

Hi Juva, I had my exam last week , Center not home edition, They didn’t allow me to take a pen it was a pencil, very hard to write fast with , it was very awful to manage it.I didn’t get any benefit from the notes because the time was very short , my advice for others is to try to focus and memorise the listening part better than taking notes, I scored 14/30 in listening part.I didn’t have the time to come back to my notes and read it, and I discovered that other students were not taking notes and they had higher scores than me. I had high scores in speaking and writing sections , Thank you for your great videos I followed your instructions ❤️.
Hi Rose, I'm so glad the videos were helpful to you :). So sorry to hear about the note taking problem, but don't worry about it.

Hi Juva . I hope you are doing well. i had a question for you. you said in order to take notes for lectures you have to realize whether it is gonna be a theories lecture or a 1-topic lecture . however when i do listening tasks and want to take notes for lectures i understand which of them is gonna be (theories lecture or 1-topic lecture) really late; and this affects my note taking process and i cant take notes the way you told us . Juva , How can i understand which of them is gonna be (theories lecture or 1-topic lecture) sooner ?
Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
You are so welcome

Hey Juva thanks for your tips- I just score 110 on my test
Congratulations! That's an amazing score, you can be so proud of yourself. I'm so glad I could help :).
Another very useful resource from this channel.
What application did you use to design those animations in the video ?
I'm so glad you like it! 😀 I used Videoscribe.
Hi Juva I’m from the Philippines thank you❤️
Hi Mabuhay, I'm so glad you like it :). Lots of love from Oxford
Excellent ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Many thanks! :)
Hi Juva, your videos are really helpful)) I did not find this information anywhere.
I am wondering if during the break of the IBT home edition, if I don't leave the room, am I allowed to write on the erasable board? I was thinking that it would be helpful to prepare some speaking templates on the board, so it's easier to navigate the section.
Hi Aliona, I'm so glad the videos are helpful to you :). You are not allowed to take notes during the break. You may only take notes during the preparation time given.
Thank you
You're most welcome!
Hi Juva! Thanks for all your amazing advice. I was wondering if we will be able to take notes in the speaking section while the audio is reading the question(Independent Task) before it starts to count the 15 seconds.
Hi Socrates, I'm so glad you like it! In TOEFL Speaking you are only allowed to take notes during the preparation time, not before.
@@juva I didn't get this Juva. Can u elaborate? Can't I take notes for the Speaking section when audio is running and while reading the passages?
Hey Juva, today I was asleep and Voldemort was coming for me in my dream and wanted to curse me. Then I woke up and checked ETS and saw My TOEFL result has come and I got 106 ( R 28 L 30 S 24 W 24)
I just put this comment to thank you for your helpful videos. You are so incredible and kind to share all those tips with us.
Congratulations Parisa! Your scores are amazing, you can be so proud of yourself. I'm so glad I could help :).
Dear Juva, thanks a bunch for your wonderful strategies. I just have this question (very important for me) WHAT VIDEO EDITOR DO YOU USE? It looks like amazing and so user friendly ! Please let me know 🙏🏻 Ty!!!
Hi David, I'm so glad you like the videos :). I use Adobe Premiere Pro and Videoscribe.
thank you so much.. please need more explanation about lecture
I'm so glad you like it. What would you like to now about the lectures?
@@juva Please could you explain more about taking notes and catching the question and answer..because you now ,the lecture is so long And sometimes we loss focus..
however,,I scheduled my exam This Saturday 12/18…what you recommend??for all skills?
@@lanasulaiman127 I'll see what I can do :)
Juva when I take a reading exam I often don't recognize the meaning of some words and also there are words that I never seen before, also in some cases I translate the words in Spanish because I am Mexican and sometimes I don't recognize those words in my native language because nobody's says those words.
What would you recommend me?
To understand more weird words and also to do not lost the context of the lecture.
By the way nice hairstyle Juva :-)
Hi José, thank you, I'm flattered :). If you don't know a word, try to infer the meaning from the context. Usually, you can make an educated guess what the word could mean and in most cases that's sufficient to answer the question correctly. Hope this helps :).
Great video! though i have a question regarding how to take notes of questions raised by students or prof. I find it time consuming to write down both the questions and ans. Do you have any thoughts on this?
I'm so glad you like it 😀. That's a great question! I recommend writing down keywords only. This saves time and gives you a great overview when you answer the questions.
some time am doing good in towfl listening but some time nothing i think when i take note i dont listen properly plz help
The key is to take notes in a way that doesn't distract you from listening to the recording. Have a look at my TOEFL Listening playlist. You can find many videos with tips and strategies for note-taking there. If you have any questions, put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them :).
Madam,please make a video on live note taking.
I noted your wish :).
Hey Juva, I hope you are doing great!! In the prose-summary question of TOEFL, we get 2 points if we answer all the three major points right. But, if we only get two major points right instead of three then will we get 1 point?
Hey Charlotte, I hope you are doing great too :). According to ETS, if you choose two correct answers, you get one point.
@@juva Thanks a lot juva:)
@@charlottefx7163 You're most welcome! :)
Hi Juva. Please i really need your help . I'm gonna take mine on my birthday june 11 , and i'm not really ready .. please i need more advise and a full TOEFL IBT video Practice
Hi Daniel, so great that you're going to take the TOEFL! If you have any questions, please put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them :).
Hi I really want to know how to enhance my reading skill. I mean how it is possible to score more than 24 in reading section.
That's a great question! 😀 The key is to use the right strategies and know the types of questions. Have a look at my TOEFL Reading playlist, you can find reading strategies and all about the different questions there. If you have any questions, put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them.
Hey Juva! Can I take the Toefl ibt home edition test in my living room? I can't take it in my room because it is not appropriate for the test.
Hey Shiva, if your living room satisfies the requirements, it shouldn't be a problem.
In writing section, it's must to type fast or
A normal typing speed is sufficient, don't worry.
@@juva thanks 🙏your videos are helpful
@@bethelsebsibe6854 I'm so glad to hear that :)
Is there specifically a theory and a topic lecture?
Not specifically. I call them like that because these types of lectures appear frequently in TOEFL Listening.
Listening is proving to be challenging and long . I need a 25 but I always get a 22. What should I do ?
Anticipating the questions, focusing on the key points, and taking good notes are the most important points for getting a high score. Have a look at my TOEFL Listening playlist, you may find it useful :).
Hey I have question,may I know how much 12th grade minimum percentage (percentage criteria)is required to apply in Oxford University? Does Oxford University convert our grades into GPA?
And may I know your major & you are UG student am I right?
Hey, every subject has different entry requirements, so I'd recommend checking them out. I'm afraid I have no experience with grade conversion so I can't say anything about that. I am an undergraduate law student :).
@@juva Thank You so much Miss Juva and That's cool, I like Your Major🤷♂️😊☺
Hi juva! I just finished my test and I got 23 in both reading and listening so I have to wait for my speaking and writing scores, your templates and strategies helped me a lot…
Just I am little worried about my speaking score because in third and forth section somehow for a few second I did not explain well😔
If I get under 20 in speaking I don’t know what to say to my parents that payed 245$ for me💔
Wish me luck…🌸
Congratulations Danial! That's an amazing score, you can be very proud of yourself. I'm so glad the videos were helpful to you :). Don't worry about TOEFL Speaking, it's really challenging and you did it, that's awesome! Everything will be fine :).
@@juva thx🙏 one question, is toefl speaking grading to strict?
@@danialkarami7322 If you provided a structured and direct answer to the questions, everything will be fine. Don't worry!
I am always stuck with 20 in listening. If I took notes I get a lower grade.
Don't worry, you can do this! Make sure that you only write down the key points. Don't write too much because this may distract you from focusing on the listening. Have a look at my TOEFL Listening playlist, you may find it helpful :).
That's really a great advice Juva. I did this mistake of taking long notes because of that I lost track of the audio. Can u make a video for the listening section as u did for the Reading and Writing sections?
@@shivaganapathi702 Thanks! That's true, taking too many notes can be so distracting. I noted your video wish :).
@@juva Madam, Please make a video on live note taking on listening section.
@@abunomankausar1022 I noted your wish :).
I got 95, R27/L18/S23/W27
Congratulations! That's amazing, you can be so proud of yourself :).
