新托福口语考试的介绍

【#英语口语# 导语】考生在口语考试中所作的回答在ETS中心被称为Response,考生在口语考试中的Response经过数字录音并被发送到ETS在线评估网络。以下是整理的新托福口语考试的介绍,欢迎阅读!

1.新托福口语考试的介绍

  每个考生的考试录音都至少有三个以上的评分老师进行评估,而且有的时候一个考生的同一个部分的评估也由两个评分教师评估,这样来保证学生分数的公正性。考生的分数范围是0-4分,4分为满分,0分是考试没做任何回答。

  考完之后,ETS在线评估要把考生的分数分别从0-4分转换成0-30分,这样就是大家的托福口语成绩。我们会在后面介绍分数是如何被转换的。评估教师主要是在Topic Development, Delivery and Language Use这三个方面进行评估。

  第一、在考生的学术能力方面:有关考生的Topic Development, 评估老师主要的衡量标准是考生有没有很好的处理考试中出现的话题,并评估考生是否具备讨论与话题相关信息的能力。在口语考试的后面四个Tasks,评估教师还要就考生是否具备对话题的Synthesize和Summarize的能力进行评估,就是我们在口语透析(一)中给大家介绍的几个方面的能力。Synthesize的主要意思是to form by combining parts of elements,考生要做的是根据考试中出现的信息,形成自己对事情的看法。Summarize的主要意思是to comprehensively and briefly abstract the topic, 考生需要做的是全面,简短的总结考试中出现的场景或学术lectures中的要点并能最终表述出来。

  第二、在考生的语言表达能力方面:有关考生的Delivery方面的能力,评估教师主要在考生语言表述能力上的评分。考生的英语表述是否清楚、流畅,并且在整个口语考试过程之中,考生整体上的口语考试部分的表现是否具备整体上的一致性和可理解性。这里边,需要强调的是“一致性”指的两层意思。首先是考生在整体口语考试的过程中,口语整体的上表现水平。其次是考生在语言层面上对话题的阐述具有一致性。也就是考生的口语具备连贯性和逻辑性。有关Language Use方面,评估教师主要在语言的准确性方面对考生的Response进行评估,如语法及语言使用准确性方面等等。这三个方面是评估教师的主要出发点。2.托福口语取胜的关键

  1、减少口头禅

  托福口语考试对考生挑战性的一点是考生几乎没有深入思考的时间,从给出题目到开始考试,只有短短的15秒钟,却要求在45秒钟之内给出一个有头有尾的完整回答。老师说,托福考试是对考生英语素质的考察,很多考生面对计算机,不自觉就会出现很多口头禅,有英文的:well,you know等或者毫无意义的“啊、嗯”的音节,更有甚者,将自己的中文口头禅也说出来。这些无意义的词语出现在只有45秒的口语答案中,很具杀伤力。

  老师建议考生在答题时尽量放松心情,发音能让人听懂就可以。考生对于口语题的准备应主要集中在人、地、物、事几个大方面,可以提前准备一些相关的句型,考试的时候适当代入。考生尽量在45秒的答题时间内,充分展示自己的词汇量,做到流利准确。

  2、多说多反馈

  很多人都知道英语要多说,但是真正做到每天都说的人很少。建议考生多做题,每天至少大声说足20分钟。光说还不行,要与人对话、与电脑对话,尽可能多地获得反馈。如果能够让老师听,指出发音或语法错误是。最简单的反馈是将自己说的英语做录音后,反复听,检查错误。指出只说不反馈,永远不会进步。

  最后,总结说,托福备考是一个很乏味的过程,除了反复做题外,口语和写作还要积极获得各种反馈。一定要有坚持到底的信念,态度很关键,每天做足练习,不要轻言放弃。只有坚持到最后,才能获得成功。3.托福口语的考试时间

  新托福口语考试让很多的考生头疼不已,那么我们在托福口语的考试中怎样考出优异的成绩呢?新托福口语考试一共6个题目,其中1、2题为独立回答题。

  第3、4题要求考生先阅读一段文字,然后再听一段与阅读文字在内容上相关的听力材料,最后考生按照要求回答相关问题。下面小编就为大家带来托福口语时间怎样分配的解析内容。

  它们分别是情景题和学术题。最后的5、6道以听力材料为基础,要求考生回答相关问题。首先,考生掌控时间能力的强弱对这个部分成绩的高低有着直接影响。前两道题的准备时间为15秒,回答时间是45秒;3、4题的准备时间是30秒,回答时间则是60秒;最后两道题目的准备时间是20秒,回答时间为60秒。大部分考生都反映口语部分的准备时间利用效率低、做答仓促。新托福口语考试时间比较紧张,考生要适度把握:

  如第1、2中的题目属于日常话题,这两道题本身难度比较小,所以特别需要注意的就是时间的分配问题,在这45秒钟里,一般用5~6秒完成topic sentence, 接下来的40秒应以每一个detail或者example不超过3~4句话的规律完成该话题,也就是说大致20秒完成一个detail或example的表述。如果考生能在考前进行充分的准备,锻炼自己的口语思维,积累常用的details或examples,考试时就会从容许多。4.托福口语逻辑框架的介绍

  西方人说话之所以能够脱口而出、条理清晰,是因为他们在表达时都会事先在头脑中形成大致的一个逻辑框架,即对开头、中间和结尾进行规划。如果考生们能以这样的思维方式和逻辑与考官的思想达成共识,离高分也就近了一步。

  大家都知道,在口语考试的6个Task中,前2个是Independent Task,后4个为Integrated Task.前面2个可以直接根据指令来回答问题,而后面的4个要以综合听力和阅读的内容作答。

  在Task 5的时候,加入的是听力的内容,也就是先听对话,再根据对话内容回答问题,准备时间为20秒,答题时间为60秒。

  Task 5作为4个Integrated Task中一个询问考生观点的题目,自然要求考生观点阐述相对于内容要更为简单些。因此,攻破这关的要点应按照“复述问题-复述方案-选择方案-阐明理由”的步骤来进行,而这个步骤也就是我们开头所提到的逻辑框架。

  刚刚新TOEFL口语考试专家讲解的逻辑框架可能很大一部分考生一时也无法吸收,为了让考生们能迅速吸收口语考试秘籍之逻辑框架,老师特别将其大致概括为以下四步:

  2.Two Possible Solutions

  3.Personal Opinion / Choice

The interesting books make me preoccupied with them and I have learned a lot of knowledge from them.Secondly, it’s very quiet and helps me relax.

Looking far into the sky, watching the clouds moving slowly, all these just seem to be fascinating.
