<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Score Scales</span></b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The TOEFL iBT test provides scores is four skill areas:</div>
<div>
Reading 0-30 </div>
<div>
Listening 0-30</div>
<div>
Speaking 0-30</div>
<div>
Writing 0-30</div>
<div>
<b>Total Score </b> <b> 0-120</b></div>
<div>
The total score is the sum of the four skill scores.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Rating of Speaking and Writing Responses</span></b></div>
<div>
<b>Speaking</b></div>
<div>
Responses to all six Speaking tasks are digitally recorded and sent to ETS. The responses from each test taker are scored by three to six different certified raters. The responses for each task is rated on a scale from 0 to 40 according to the rubrics on pages 188-191. The average of all six ratings is converted to a scaled score of 0 to 30.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Raters listen for the following features in test taker responses:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Delivery</b>: How clear was the speech? Good responses are fluid and clear, with good pronunciation, natural pacing, and natural-sounding intonation patterns.</li>
<li><b>Language use</b>: How effectively does the test taker use grammar and vocabulary to convey ideas? Raters determine the test taker's ability to control both basic and more complex language structures, and use appropriate vocabulary.</li>
<li><b>Topic development</b>: How fully do test takers answer the question and how coherently do they present their ideas? How well did the test taker synthesize and summarize the information in the integrated tasks? Good responses generally use all or most of the time allotted, and the relationship between ideas and the progression from one idea to the next are clear and easy to follow. </li>
</ul>
It is important to note that raters do not expect test takers' responses to be perfect. Even high-scoring responses may contain occasional errors and minor problems in any of the three areas described above</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Writing </b></div>
<div>
Responses to all writing tasks also are sent to ETS. The responses are rated by two certified raters and the automated scoring system on a scale of 0 to 5 according to the rubrics on pages 200-201. The average of the scores on the two writing tasks is converted to a scaled score of 0 to 30.</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>The response to the integrated writing task is scored on the quality of writing (organization, appropriate and precise use of grammar and vocabulary) and the completeness and accuracy of the content.</li>
<li>The independent writing essay is scored on the overall quality of the writing: development, organization, and appropriate and precise use of grammar and vocabulary.</li>
</ul>
It is important to note that the raters recognize that the responses are first drafts. They do not expect test takers to produce a well-researched, comprehensive essay. For that reason, test takers can earn a high score with a response that contains some errors.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Score Reports </b></div>
<div>
TOEFL score report provide valuable information about a test taker's readiness to participate and succeed in academic studies in an English-speaking environment. Score report include:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>four skill scores </li>
<li>total score</li>
</ul>
Scores are reported online approximately 10 days after the test. Test takers can view their scores online at no charge. Colleges, universities, and agencies receive paper score reports if the test taker has selected them as score recipients. (A paper copy of the score report is mailed to the test taker only upon request.) Test taker score reports also include performance feedback that indicates whether their performance was high, medium, or low, and describes what test takers in each score range typically know and can do with the English language.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Score requirements </b></div>
<div>
Each institution sets its own requirements for TOEFL scores. Test takers should consult their target institutions to determine their specific TOEFL score requirements. A list of colleges, universities, and agencies that accept TOEFL scores and a list of institutional score requirements reported to ETS can be obtained at <b>www.toeflgoanywhere.org.</b></div>

In all academic situations where writing in English is required, students must be able to present their ideas in a clear. well-organized manner. The Writing section measures your ability to write English in an academic setting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Often, students need to write a paper or an essay response about what they are learning in their classes. This requires combining information they have heard in class lectures with what they have read in textbooks or other materials. This type of writing is referred to as integrated writing. In this type of writing, students must:</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Take notes on what they hear and read, and use them to organize information before writing</li>
<li>Summarize, paraphrase, and cite information from the source material accurately</li>
<li>Write about the ways the information they heard relates to the information they read</li>
</ol>
<div>

The student must successfully draw information from each source to explain the contrast.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Student must also write essays that express and support their opinions. In this type of writing, known as independent writing, students express an opinion and support it based on their own knowledge and experience.</li>
</ul>
<div>
For example, students may be asked to write an essay about a controversial issue. The students use part, personal experience to support their opinion.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In all types of writing, it is helpful for students to:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Identify one main idea and some major point that support it</li>
<li>Plan how to organize the essay (For example, with an outline)</li>
<li>Develop the essay by using reasons, examples, and details</li>
<li>Express information in an organized manner</li>
<li>Use effective linking words (transitional phrases) to connect ideas and help the reader understand the flow of ideas</li>
<li>Use a range grammar and vocabulary for effective expression</li>
<li>Use grammar and vocabulary accurately; use idiomatic expressions appropriately</li>
<li>Follow the conventions of spelling, punctuation, and layout</li>
</ol>
<div>
<b>Description</b></div>

<br />
<ul>
<li>Comprehend the main idea, major points, and important details related to the main idea (Comprehension of all details is not necessary.)</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Listening for pragmatic understanding</b></span><br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>Recognize a speaker's attitude and degree of certainty</li>
<li>Recognize the function or purpose of a speaker's statement</li>
</ul>

<li>Understand the relationships between ideas presented (for example, compare/contrast, cause/effect, or steps in a process)</li>
<li>Make inferences and draw conclusion based on what is implied in the material</li>
<li>Make connections among pieces of information in a conversation or lecture</li>
<li>Recognize topic changes (for example, digressions and aside statements) in lecture and conversations, and recognize introductions and conclusions in lectures</li>
</ul>

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are four question formats in the Listening section:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Traditional multiple-choice questions with four answer choices and a single correct answer</li>
<li>Multiple-choice questions with more than one answer (for example, two correct answers out of four choices or three answers out of five choices)</li>
<li>Questions that require you to order events or steps in a process</li>
<li>Questions that require you to match objects or text to categories in a chart</li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Reading Passages</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
The passages cover a variety of subjects. You should not be concerned if you are unfamiliar with a topic. The passage contains all the information needed to answer the questions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All passages are classified into three basic categories:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Exposition</li>
<li>Argumentation</li>
<li>Historical</li>
</ul>
<div>
Often, passages present information about the topic from more than one perspective or point of view. This is something you should note as you read. Usually, you are asked at least one question that allows you to demonstrate that you understood the general organization of the passage. Common organization types that you should be able to recognize are:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Classification</li>
<li>Compare/Contrast</li>
<li>Cause/Effect</li>
<li>Problem /Solution</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Reading Question Formats</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
There are three question formats in the Reading section:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Questions with four choices and a single correct answer in traditional multiple-choice format</li>
<li>Questions with four choices and a single answer that ask test takers to "insert a sentence" where it fits best in a passage</li>
<li>"Reading to learn" questions with more than four choices and more than one possible correct answer.</li>

Sebagai mahasiswa di universitas luar negeri, tentunya kamu akan membaca banyak buku pelajaran dalam bahasa inggris. TOEFL akan menguji kemampuanmu dalam hal ini, dalam format berikut. Kamu akan diberi 3 sampai empat teks bacaan tentang topik acak yang telah ditentukan. Menurut situs ETS, lembaga yang menciptakan tes TOEFL, teks bacaan tersebut biasanya diambil dari buku-buku yang digunakan mahasiswa universitas, maka dari itu tingkat kerumitannya sangat cocok dengan apa yang akan kamu hadapi saat kuliah nanti. Setelah membaca teks, kamu akan diberi 12-14 pertanyaan untuk masing-masing teks bacaan, yang akan menanyakan isi konten dari apa yang telah kamu baca. Pertanyaan yang akan kamu temukan di tes TOEFL merupakan pertanyaan pilihan ganda. Kamu akan diberi waktu selama 60 hingga 80 menit untuk menyelesaikan semua soal.</div>

Memang, kamu dibatasi dalam waktu yang tersedia, namun apabila kamu membaca dengan tidak teliti, kamu dapat membaca informasi dengan salah atau melewatkan hal yang penting.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 5px 15px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Gunakan anotasi</strong> seperti garis bawah, lingkaran, atau apapun yang kamu inginkan untuk menandai kata-kata dan kalimat yang penting. Hal ini akan mempercepat proses penyaringan informasi dan membuat pencarian informasi yang relevan lebih mudah lagi.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 5px 15px; padding: 0px;">Apabila kamu mempunyai waktu sisa, gunakan waktu tersebut untuk<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">memeriksa kembali jawaban</strong> yang telah kamu isi.

<li style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 5px 15px; padding: 0px;">Latihan dengan cara <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">membaca banyak buku dan artikel</strong>sebelumnya.

In this section, you will be asked to listen to lectures and conversation. these listening tasks will have a definite structure, which is similar to the reading passages we just studied. there will be an introduction, supporting details or examples, and a conclusion.<br />
<br />
Let's take a closer look at the structure of these lectures and conversation.<br />
<br />
In a lectures, you can expect to hear the following :<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Opening : </b>The teacher or professor will greet the class and announce the topic of the lecture.</li>
<li><b>Purpose of the lecture :</b> After stating the topic, the speaker will usually mention the focus of this particular lecture.</li>
<li><b>Details and/or Examples :</b> The lecture will usually include several supporting details and/or examples.</li>
<li><b>Conclusion :</b> conclusion in the lectures will not always be obvious. Some lectures or talks will end rather abruptly.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Additionally, an academic lecture or talk on the TOEFL is also likely to contain :</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Question and/or comments:</b> During the lecture, a student will often ask a question or make a comment. The answers to these question typically reinforce the speaker's purpose. </li>
</ul>
<div>
In a conversation, you can expect to hear the following:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Greeting: </b>The two people talking will first exchange greetings.</li>
<li><b>Statement 0f problem/issue:</b> Conversation on the TOEFL typically revolve around a problem or an issue faced by one of the speakers.</li>
<li><b>Response:</b> After the problem or issue is raised, one of the speakers will response, usually by making a suggestion to the other.</li>
<li><b>Resolution:</b> The conversation will end with some sort of closing or resolution to the problem.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Your challenge in the Listening section is similar to your challenge in the Reading section of the TOEFL. When listening to a conversation or lecture, you need to do the following:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Identify <i>what </i>the topic is.</li>
<li>Figure out <i>why</i> the topic is being addressed.</li>
<li>Note the supporting <i>examples</i>.</li>
</ol>
<div>
You have practiced identifying these parts in the previous chapter. Now the challenge is to apply what you have learned to the Listening section. There are some things, however, that make the listening tasks especially difficult.</div>

For those not living in English-speaking countries, finding native speakers of English to speak with can be quite challenging. In some countries, there are English-speaking tutors or assistants who can help students with their conversation and overall communication skills. Another way you can practice speaking is to join a club that involves speaking in English about movies, music, travel and so on. If no such club exists in your area, try starting your own club and invite native speakers you know to join, too.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #484848; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;" /><span style="color: #484848; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;">Here are a few suggestions for ways to build your speaking skills:</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #484848; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;" /><span style="color: #484848; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;">• Practice stating an opinion or preference within a 1-minute time limit.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #484848; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;" /><span style="color: #484848; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; text-align: center;">• Read a short article (100–200 words), and make an outline that only includes the major points of the article.

Familiarize yourself with the TOEFL format</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most countries now offer the Internet based TOEFL (iBT). A few offer only the paper-based test (PBT). Make sure you find out which test you will be taking before you start studying for the TOEFL. You cannot choose to take the paper based test if your country offers the iBT. One reason people experience exam stress is because they don't know what to expect before a test. Prevent stress on exam day by studying the format of the test in detail. ETS has very clear standards about the format of their test. This is why it is called a "standardized" test.</span><br /><br /><strong style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Research TOEFL score requirements</strong><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The TOEFL is required for any non-native English student who wants to go to a post-secondary school in the United States. Most people take the TOEFL in order to apply to a specific school or program. Before you begin studying, find out what the requirements are for the schools you are interested in going to. Remember that the scores for the paper based test are different than the scores for the iBT. Some schools will look at your scores from different sections. Each iBT section is scored out of 30. Many universities expect you to achieve higher writing skills than speaking skills. TOEFL scores are only valid for two years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><strong style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Learn academic English</strong><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TOEFL is used for a different purpose than other ESL tests. The TOEFL measures your ability to succeed in an American university or college. Other English-speaking countries also require TOEFL scores as a prerequisite for admission. You don't have to know about the business world as you do in the TOEIC test. Instead, you should concentrate on studying language that you would hear and see on campus and in the classroom. In other words, you should read textbooks, encyclopaedias, journals and research articles rather than advertisements and resumes. You won't need to know any background information about certain subjects, but it will help you to become familiar with the presentation and language used in academic material. You should also watch modern television and movies. If you have a friend who goes to an English university, go to class with him as often as you can. Borrow his books and hang out with his friends.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use practice tests</span></b><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The best way to prepare for the TOEFL is to practise doing the tests. If you are taking a TOEFL class, your teacher will provide you with plenty of material. If you are studying for the TOEFL on your own, you will have to purchase a few key resources. Find a textbook that has exercises, vocabulary, practice tests, CDs, and explanatory answers. You might not want to work through a book from front to back. Work on the sections that you find most challenging. Don't just rely on one book. You might have a book that is much easier than the official TOEFL. Look for free samples on the Internet to supplement your textbook. Make sure the question types are up to date.</span><div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Find a mentor</span></b></div>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A reliable native English teacher who knows a lot about the TOEFL is one of the best resources a student can have. You will have many questions that your textbook can't answer for you. Frustrated students often give up. It is important that you have someone who will answer your questions and encourage you when you feel down. If you cannot afford a teacher or a tutor, find a student who has studied for the test before. Sometimes other students can give you excellent hints and help you with grammar questions.</span></span><div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Menambah kosakata Bahasa Inggris tidak hanya penting dalam menguasai kemampuan reading saja, namun menambah kosakata Bahasa Inggris juga sangat berguna untuk menguasai bagian lainnya seperti speaking, writing, listening. Dikarenakan pada sesi reading terdapat banyak teks dan tidak jarang pula Anda diminta untuk menjawab pertanyaan tentang sinonim atau antonim, maka yang harus Anda kembangkan pertama kali untuk mendapatkan skor tinggi pada reading comprehension ialah menambah kosakata Bahasa Inggris.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Oleh karena itu, biasakan membaca agar dapat melatih Anda untuk terbiasa membaca teks Bahasa Inggris serta mengartikan maksud bacaan dengan cepat. Selain itu, membiasakan diri membaca juga akan melatih Anda untuk merespon bacaan dengan baik, misalnya saja menentukan ide pokok dalam kalimat, dan sebagainya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mendapatkan
skor TOEFL yang tinggi tentu menjadi impian semua peserta tes. Dengan
skor yang tinggi, kesempatan untuk bisa melanjutkan studi di luar
negeri, bahkan mendapatkan beasiswa pun semakin besar. Namun untuk
mendapatkan skor yang tinggi itu tentu tidak mudah apalagi bila anda
menginginkan pada tes TOEFL iBT score diatas 110. Untungnya selalu ada
tips-tips yang bisa digunakan sebagai referensi untuk meningkatkan skor
TOEFL.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
Hal
pertama yang perlu dilakukan adalah mengenal apa itu TOEFL. Cara ini
bisa dilakukan dengan browsing serta membaca buku-buku tertentu.
Sekilas, hal ini mungkin tampak tidak terlalu penting, tapi ini tetap
perlu dilakukan. Dengan mengetahui tentang TOEFL serta format tesnya,
diharapkan anda bisa mempersiapkan diri secara lebih efisien dan efektif
mengingat materi yang harus dipelajari juga banyak dan sulit. Setelah
mendapatkan informasi, proses latihan bisa mulai dilakukan</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
Latihan
untuk persiapan tes ini tidak selamanya harus dilakukan seperti ketika
menjalani pelajaran di sekolah. Untuk mempersiapkan writing skill, bisa
dilakukan dengan banyak membaca jurnal, artikel atau karya ilmiah
berbahasa Inggris. Ketika membaca, anda bisa mulai menganalisis pola
kalimat, struktur serta tata bahasa yang dipakai. Selain itu, anda juga
bisa sekaligus memperkaya kosa kata dan wawasan anda. Dengan cara
menganalisis tersebut, anda bukan hanya belajar tapi bisa sekaligus
praktek. Selain menganalisis, anda juga perlu mulai berlatih menulis
gagasan-gagasan anda secara runtut dan jelas, karena di writing section,
anda akan diminta untuk membuat suatu tulisan untuk menanggapi suatu
tema yang diberikan.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
Dalam
hal reading, banyak membaca tadi juga akan memudahkan anda untuk
mengetahui isi bacaan secara lebih mudah. Selain itu, trik lainnya
adalah berusaha mencari gagasan utama setiap paragraf. Umumnya, gagasan
utama itu ada di awal atau di akhir. Apabila sudah bisa menemukan
gagasan utama tiap paragraf, itu akan memudahkan anda dalam memahami
tiap paragraf serta keseluruhan bacaan. Dalam hal listening, ada cara
belajar yang mudah, yaitu dengan mendengarkan lagu atau menonton film.
Saat mendengarkan lagu atau menonton itu, anda bisa sekaligus mencoba
berlatih mendengarkan dan kemudian mencatat point-point pentingnya. Cara
ini tentu menyenangkan dan tidak terlalu membuat tegang. Dengan
mendengarkan atau menonton tersebut, anda sekaligus bisa mengamati cara
pengucapan kata yang tepat. Hal ini akan sangat penting dalam
mempersiapkan diri mnghadapi speaking section. Selain itu, menirukan
cara native speaker berbicara dan mengulanginya juga bisa menjadi cara

Sebelumnya,
telah disampaikan beberapa hal terkait persiapan sebelum tes, dan
berikut ini adalah hal yang perlu dilakukan ketika tes. Pertama adalah
memperhatikan petunjuk mengerjakan tes. Hal ini sangat perlu
diperhatikan, karena dalam tes ini lembar jawab anda ada di komputer.
Apabila anda tidak memperhatikan petunjuknya, bisa jadi anda kesulitan
dalam menjawab pertanyaan. Setelah itu, jangan menghabiskan waktu hanya
pada satu soal karena soal yang diberikan cukup banyak. Jika memang
tidak bisa, lebih baik dilewati dulu. Selain itu, gunakan cara
mengeleminasi jawaban yang sekiranya tidak tepat. Cara ini bisa cukup
berguna, apa lagi bila sulit menentukan jawaban yang tepat. Selain itu,
selalu teliti jawaban lebih dari satu kali, agar anda juga yakin dengan
apa yang telah anda kerjakan. Semoga TOEFL iBT score diatas 110 bukan
sekedar impian tapi benar-benar bisa diwujudkan.</div>

Maka dari itu ,<br />
dalam postingan kali ini akan dijelaskan siapa penyelenggara TOEFL.<br />
<br />
TOEFL International diselenggarakan oleh lembaga khusus, <i>English Test Service </i>(ETS), yang berpusat di Amerika Serikat. Lembaga ini memiliki perwakilan di seluruh dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Di Indonesia sendiri, perwakilan ETS tidak hanya di Jakarta atau kota-kota besar di pulau Jawa saja. ETS menjalin kerjasama dengan perwakilan-perwakilan di berbagai daerah di Indonesia, seperti Bogor, Medan, dan Makasar. Lembaga yang diserahi kewenangan menyelenggarakan TOEFL di Indonesia tidak seluruhnya merupakan lembaga kursus Bahasa Inggris. Di Bandung, misalnya, TOEFL dikelola oleh dua universitas yang memiliki Unit Pusat Bahasa (UPT), yaitu Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) dan Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). Sedangkan di Jakarta, TOEFL anatara lain dikelola oleh Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat.<br />
<br />
Setiap tahun, ETS mengeluarkan jadwal tes yang akan diselenggarakan di seluruh dunia. Anda bisa melihat jadwal terbaru dengan mengakses situs ETS di www.ets.org.<br />
<br />
Di banyak tempat, perwakilan penyelenggara TOEFL di negara masing-masing tidak hanya meneyediakan layanan TOEFL saja, tetapi sekaligus menyediakan kursus untuk menghadapi TOEFL atau meningkatkan skor TOEFL. Pada umumnya, materi yang diberikan kursus-kursus ini berupa penjelasan atau ulasan mengenai pokok-pokok yang diajukan dalam TOEFL, seperti <i>grammar </i>(tata bahasa), <i>listening </i>(menyimak/mendengar), dan <i>reading </i>(bacaan) untuk meningkatkan <i>vocabulary </i>(kosa kata). Lantas, diikuti dengan latihan-latihan ujian dan pembahasan soal-soal TOEFL. Simulasi TOEFL ini sangat penting bagi calon peserta TOEFL, terutama bagi yang belum pernah mengikuti bentuk ujian seperti TOEFL. Ujian TOEFL itu bentuknya seperti tes-tes yang diproses dengan komputer. Soal-soal berbentuk pilihan ganda (multiple choice), Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10968586563257179888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171418007192253412.post-21680180560392230312014-02-12T01:19:00.000-08:002014-03-14T22:56:01.454-07:00TOEFL Writing Test Strategy<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

<li>Analisa pertanyaan yang anda hadapi. Pahamilah pertanyaan tersebut dan segeralah lakukan<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Brainstorming,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i>yaitu membiasakan diri berfikir cepat mengenai apa saja yang berkenaan dengan tema / hal yang di tanyakan dalam soal. Catatlah hal hal yang ada di kepala anda. Misalnya topik yang di tanyakan adalah "internet". Maka anda harus segera mempekerjakan memori anda untuk untuk menyebutkan apa saja hal yang berkaitan dengan internet yang anda ingat. Misalnya,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>e-mail, electronic, journals, music, e-commerce, e-banking, viruses, software, hacker,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i>dan<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>chatting.</i></li>
<li>Setelah melakukan<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Brainstroming,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i>segera temukan ide apa saja yang anda tuangkan dalam tulisan esai. Anda bisa memperluas cakrawala pandang dengan menggunakan kata kata yang anda dapatkan dalam brainstroming. Dari sini anda dapat mengembangkan ide yang lebih terstruktur.</li>
<li>Buatlah rencana singkat tentang apa yang akan anda tulis. Anda bisa membuat outline sederhana untuk mempermudah penulisan. Kemudian mulailah menulis dengan menghindari over generalisasi dan over simplifikasi. Artinya, Anda di minta untuk membuat tulisan yang memiliki dasar yang logis dan tidak mengada ada.</li>
<li>Setelah menyelesaikan tulisan esai, bacalah kembali secara sekilas dan lakukan pengecekan kemungkinan ada kesalahan gramatikal dan seterusnya.</li>

Sering mendengarkan bahasa inggris dan membaca berbagai macam materi akademik adalah cara terbaik untuk meningkatkan keterampilan listening. Menonton film dan mendengarkan radio juga memberikan peluang bagus untuk membangun keterampilan listening. Audiotapes dan CD ceramah serta bahan presentasi memiliki peran yang sama dalam membangun keterampilan tersebut, dan terdapat di perpustakaan serta toko buku, sehingga mudah didapat. Internet juga sumber daya yang besar untuk meningkatkan keterampilan listening.<br />
<br />
<b> Mendengarkan untuk dasar Pemahaman</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Meningkatkan kosakata</li>
<li>fokus terhadap isi dari materi yang sampaikan, jangan sampai terganggu oleh gaya penyampaian pembicara.</li>
<li>Mengantisipasi apa yang orang katakan sebagai cara untuk tetap fokus.</li>
<li>Tetap aktif dengan mengajukan pertanyaan pada diri sendiri. (contoh, "what main idea is the professor communicating?). </li>
<li>Menyalin kata "main idea", "mayor points" and "important details" di bagian kertas yang berbeda, dengarkan baik-baik, dan buat catatan saat mendengarkan. Terus mendengarkan sampai semua poin penting sudah ditulis dan kemudian memeriksa catatan tersebut. </li>
<li>Mendengarkan sebagian isi ceramah atau pembicaraan dan membuat garis besar atau poin penting sebagai bahan untuk membuat sebuah ringkasan singkat. Secara bertahap meningkatkan jumlah presentasi yang anda gunakan untuk menulis ringkasan. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<div>
<b>Mendengarkan untuk Pemahaman Pragmatis</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Pikirkan tentang apa yang pembicara harapkan, dalam mencapai: Apa tujuan dari pidato atau percakapan? apakah pembicara meminta maaf, mengeluh, atau membuat saran? </li>
<li>Perhatikan setiap gaya pembicara, apakah menggunakan bahasa formal atau kasual? Bagaimana intonasi suara pembicara? apakah suara pembicara tenang atau emosional? Apakah nada suara pembicara memberi informasi pada anda?</li>
<li>Dengarkan baik-baik saat terjadi perubahan dalam topik Listening.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Mendengarkan untuk menghubungkan dan mensintesis ide-ide. </b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Berpikir tentang bagaimana perkuliahan yang anda dengar diatur. Mendengarkan sinyal kata-kata yang menunjukkan pengenalan, langkah utama atau ide, contoh, dan kesimpulan atau ringkasan.</li>
<li>Mengidentifikasi hubungan antara ide-ide. Mungkin juga termasuk hubungan sebab/akibat, perbandingan, dan langkah langkah dalam prosesnya.</li>
<li>Mendengarkan kata-kata yang menunjukkan koneksi dan hubungan antara ide-ide.</li>
<li>Mendengarkan materi yang direkam. Memprediksi apakah informasi ataukah ide yang akan di nyatakan berikutnya.</li>
<li>Membuat garis besar dari informasi yang didiskusikan saat dan setelah mendengarkan.</li>

Salah satu cara terbaik untuk mendapatkan score <b>TOEFL</b> yang tinggi adalah latihan, latihan dan latihan. Latihan atau practice adalah sesuatu yang penting jika anda ingin mendapatkan score TOEFL yang tinggi. Selain latihan dalam bahasa Inggris, ada baiknya juga menambah wawasan anda dalam pengetahuan umum. Banyak soal soal TOEFL diambil dari topik topik umum atau materi materi sekolah. Untuk yang tidak dapat mengatur waktunya, akan lebih bagus lagi jika anda dapat mengikuti preparation class atau kelas persiapan TOEFL. Rasanya untuk sekarang ini tidak terlalu sulit untuk mencari lembaga lembaga yang menawarkan toefl preparation atau les TOEFL. Karena biasanya dengan mengikuti preparation anda akan di di kenalkan dengan contoh contoh soal toefl dan juga tips dan trik toefl. Tetapi yang jauh lebih penting dengan mengikuti preparation class atau kelas persiapan toefl secara otomatis anda juga akan praktek langsung baik dengan guru pembimbing ataupun dengan teman satu kelas. Dengan demikian anda akan terbiasa dan familiar dengan soal soal toefl dan juga akan terbiasa berinteraksi dengan menggunakan bahasa inggris. Karena salah satu kelemahan kita yang tinggal di negara negara yang bukan bahasa inggris sebagai bahasa utama adalah sedikitnya waktu untuk mempraktekan bahasa inggris dalam kehidupan sehari hari.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171418007192253412.post-30892962927037751152013-02-25T01:28:00.001-08:002014-03-21T17:41:17.834-07:00Format TOEFL iBT Test<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ternyata masih banyak yang belum tahu, berapa lama TOEFL keluar. Nilai TOEFL dapat dicek di ETS account anda setelah 10-14 hari setelah mengambil test. Untuk yang hardcopy atau sertifikat sendiri biasanya 1.5 bulan atau 2 bulan sudah terkirim ke alamat rumah. Bagi mereka yang berencana melanjutkan pendidikan di Amerika ada baiknya score TOEFL atau hasil nilai TOEFL dikirim langsung dari ETS ke institusi di mana anda mendaftar sebagai calon mahasiswa. Permohonan pengiriman 1 hari sebelum hari test, tidak dikenakan biaya, tetapi permohonan setelah hari tes akan dikenakan biaya. Cara ini selain menghemat biaya pengiriman juga akan lebih cepat daripada anda menunggu hardcopy sampai ke rumah baru kemudian di kirim kembali ke instistusi di Amerika.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171418007192253412.post-15354119488480329942013-02-25T01:03:00.001-08:002015-04-03T18:59:29.029-07:00Berapa Biaya Test TOEFL iBT ?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
