Listen & Repeat Practice
Master the newest 2026 TOEFL Speaking task.
What is the Listen & Repeat Task?
Introduced in the 2026 redesign, the Listen-and-Repeat task tests your immediate listening comprehension and verbal reproduction. You will hear a short phrase or sentence, and you must repeat it as accurately as possible, matching the pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation of the original speaker.
Why It's Challenging
- No text is provided: You must rely entirely on your listening skills.
- Pace matters: Speaking too slowly or with unnatural pauses will lower your band score.
- Accent reduction: While a perfect native accent isn't required, your pronunciation must be clear enough not to impede understanding.
