FYI
The examples I use in the video are made up by me.
1) Function Questions
Function questions ask you about the function of something that is stated in TOEFL Listening. They usually start with the word “why”.
Strategy for Conversations: Listen Closely
In TOEFL Listening one of the speakers (usually a student) wants something and he talks about that. Thus, at first sight function questions seem really easy to solve. However, you must pay attention! There are traps sprinkled throughout TOEFL Listening because the examiner wants to check whether you can distinguish between different kinds of information.
For example, in TOEFL Listening there may appear several bits of information that may all seem like reasons why the student goes to see the professor. However, only one of those is the correct answer. Make sure you listen closely so that you are able to find out the real reason why the student wants to talk to his professor or another person. Listening closely can get you valuable points that improve your TOEFL Listening score!
Strategy for Lectures: Focus on the Context
In TOEFL Listening you will listen to lectures where a professor talks about a topic to his students. The professor may do things like giving a definition, explaining something, discussing something, and so on. He does that for a reason. After the listening you may have to answer the question why the professor defines/explains/discusses something. In order to answer these questions correctly you must focus on the context.
For example, imagine that the professor defines something at the beginning of the lecture. After that he explains this topic in more detail and the whole lecture is about this topic. If you focus on the context, you know that the professor started with the definition and then continued with details. So it is quite reasonable to assume that he gave a definition in the beginning to introduce the topic. That is why context is important.
2) Inference Questions
Inference questions ask you about indirect meanings. They ask you about something that is not directly stated in the listening but it is implied or can be inferred. Inference questions can be quite tricky. Therefore, you should use a specific strategy to answer these TOEFL Listening questions correctly.
Strategy: Switch Places
To solve inference questions in TOEFL Listening you have to do two things. First, listen actively and always ask yourself: Is there an indirect message? Does the speaker want to say something that he does not state directly? Second, switch places: Put yourself in the position of the speaker and ask yourself: If I were the speaker, why would I say that? When I took the TOEFL I found this strategy extremely helpful because it enabled me to do everything I needed to answer the question correctly: I was aware of indirect messages in TOEFL Listening and I was able to find out what the speaker actually wanted to say.

Thank you Juva :D
You're most welcome Ingrid!
Hello Juva, I hope you're doing well. I just watched the two parts, and I'm finding that the function question and the details question are practically the same. Is this right ?
Hey Juva, you've been most helpful! Thankyou!! My doubts were 1. Whether we can take notes on paper on every section or is a facility just made available 2 us during the 'speaking' section 2. Is there a person that evaluates our responses or is it computer based?
Hey Shivani, you can take notes in the TOEFL. If you take the test in a test center, you can write on paper as far as I know, if you take the test at home you must use a transparency sheet or a whiteboard. In TOEFL Speaking you speak into the microphone of your computer, I'm not sure whether this is evaluated by a human/computer only or whether there is a mixed approach. Hope this helps :)
Your videos are the most helpful videos ever, Juva. Thank you very much 🥰!!
I need your suggestion about the best TOEFL IBT preparation BOOK 📖 for my TOEFL home preparation... What book would you suggest me??
Hi Tonni, I'm so glad you like the videos :). I'm afraid I can't recommend a particular book at the moment. As I said in my other comment, you may want to check out several books and then figure out which one you like best having in mind your way of studying.
Maam thank you so much for saving my loads of money on an expensive Course
You're most welcome!
Hello dear Juva please make some video about TOEFL grammar.
Hello Sayed, I noted your wish 😀.

Hı juva...thanks for your videos.Are there any advices to improve my listening?Listening section is so compelling😢
Hi Neslihan, I'm so glad you like the videos! Don't worry, you can do this. Have a look at my TOEFL Listening playlist and pick the videos you need. If you have any questions, put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them. Hope this helps. :)
Hello Juva. I wanna know if the questions in Toefl listening come in order as the dialogue?
Hello :) Not necessarily - it may be that some do and others don't. But you don't need to worry about that. If you listen actively and take notes, you will have no problem figuring out the correct answer.
Thanks juva the videos are helpful am looking 80+ what should I do to improve my score
Hi Lilian, I'm so glad you like them! Make sure that you familiarize yourself with the test format and practice enough. Have a look at my playlists and pick the videos you need :)
Please can you make video the types of essays and how to write each one
Hi, have a look at my playlist called "TOEFL Writing". You can find many videos there about both TOEFL Writing tasks :)
Hi, Juva! I have my TOEFL home edition test in a couple of days. After studying from your videos, I appeared for the TOEFL paid practice test today and my scores were: R-19, L-23, S-25, and W-25 so overall, a score of 92. I can't cant less than 20 in each section with an overall score of 90 or above. Please help!
Hi Shruti, I'd recommend the following: figure out where your weaknesses are. In particular, have a look at the question types in TOEFL Reading, you can find several videos in my "TOEFL Reading" playlist.
@@juva Thanks for replying. My weaknesses are negative factual information questions and the summary type. I am doing more practice tests to improve it.
@@shrutiswami6264 That's an excellent idea! Focus on these question types and try to find out what you're getting wrong. Once you know that, you will answer them correctly.
I like how you pronounce VIDEO ! lova ya
Haha, glad you like it :D.
very helpful😅
Glad it helped! 😀
Your teaching will be wonderful if you add listening at end of your each strategy
Hi Salim, I'm not sure whether I understand what you mean. Could you specify this please? :)
@@juva In your strategies you havent practiced from TOEFL listening you verbally stated the examples, if you could use real examples it would be great
@@salimamin1277 Ok, now I get it :)
I am really messing up with the speed of conversation. Sometimes, I can't detect the right word they pronounced and I did a great mistake. plz, give me some suggestions. Thanks in advance
Don't worry, you can do this! Have a look at the questions types because this will help you filter out the important information. It is not necessary to understand every word, you just need to make sure that you understand the relevant points. Hope this helps :).
@@juva thanks.
@@pramashiskarayon7470 You're most welcome!
How many seconds for each question in listening? Should we click on next button to get the next question?
The time you need per question may vary. You may find some questions easier than others and so you may need less time for those. I'd recommend taking a few TOEFL Listening practice tests so that you get an idea of how much time you have in order to answer the questions. This will help you manage your time in the TOEFL. When I took the TOEFL there was a 'next' button at the bottom of the page. Hope this helps :).
@@juva how can I find answers quickly for fact questions ? I have seen your videos but still hard to get it within short time.
@@cestlavie907 I'm not sure what you mean by fact questions. Are you referring to Detail Questions? If yes, you can find a video about my strategy for Detail Questions in my TOEFL Reading playlist :).
