Features: Overview of TOEFL Listening The TOEFL Listening section consists of 3 categories and 50 questions, with each category having a different focus. This section has always been the part where students score the lowest. This is related to the lack of language environment for Chinese students and the emphasis on reading and writing rather than listening and speaking in Chinese English education, resulting in generally low actual listening proficiency among test-takers. Due to the author's many years of teaching in universities and continuous work in TOEFL teaching and research, they deeply understand the gap between Chinese test-takers' listening skills and the actual requirements of the exam. This gap exists not only in terms of proficiency but also in terms of methods. The author now shares some humble opinions on improving listening skills, especially for tackling the TOEFL Listening section.
