How does TOEFL Speaking work?
Task 1 — Independent opinion (45 sec)
You give your opinion on a familiar topic. You have 15 seconds to prepare and 45 to respond. Clarity, fluency and idea development are assessed.
Task 2 — Campus situation (60 sec)
You read about a change at a university and listen to a conversation about it. Then you summarise and explain the speaker's position in 60 seconds.
Task 3 — Academic concept (60 sec)
You read an academic text and listen to a lecture. You must summarise how the lecture example illustrates the concept from the text, in 60 seconds.
Task 4 — Academic lecture (60 sec)
You listen to a university lecture and summarise the key points in 60 seconds. There is no supporting text — only audio. The most demanding task.
How Bilingu raises your TOEFL Speaking score
Structured answers in 45-60 seconds
Bilingu trains you to organise ideas quickly with a clear structure: thesis, development and close — essential for TOEFL tasks where time is critical.
Fluency without fillers or long pauses
Bilingu's AI detects 'uh', 'um', silences and repetitions. It helps you speak more continuously and confidently, directly improving your delivery score.
Academic vocabulary in context
Debates and role-plays on university and academic topics expose you to the vocabulary that appears in TOEFL integrated tasks.
Clear, comprehensible pronunciation
The TOEFL rater doesn't require a perfect accent — just clear pronunciation. Bilingu gives specific feedback on the sounds that most affect comprehension.
Why do you need TOEFL?
US and Canadian universities
TOEFL is the most widely accepted English exam in the US and Canada. Most colleges require 80-100 iBT for admission.
Graduate programmes and scholarships
Master's, PhD and Fulbright programmes typically require TOEFL 100+ iBT. The speaking score is especially relevant for teaching-led programmes.
Teaching assistantships
To teach as a Teaching Assistant at US universities, a minimum TOEFL Speaking score of 23-26 is usually required.
"My biggest problem was Task 1 — I'd go blank. Bilingu taught me to structure my ideas in 15 seconds and my score went from 20 to 26."
"I practised 25 minutes every morning with Bilingu. In two months I went from a TOEFL Speaking score of 19 to 24 — enough for the programme I wanted."
"The debate role-plays helped enormously with fluency. I stopped filling silences with 'uh' and 'um' and started sounding much more natural."
