Make sure your pronunciation is clear

For the TOEFL speaking section, it’s OK to speak English with an accent. Your pronunciation doesn’t have to be perfect, but you need to speak clearly and be understood.

The speaking section measures three things:
how well you answer the question and complete the task
the grammar and vocabulary you use
how well the person scoring the test can understand you

This is one area where it is important to work with a teacher or instructor. You need someone to tell you what you’re doing right and what you can do better.

When you are practicing the speaking task on your own, record yourself. Most laptops and computers come with recording software. Recording yourself is important for two reasons:
you can hear yourself speak and evaluate your response
you can get used to speaking to a computer

It can feel weird talking to a computer if you have never done it before!
