TESOL 2014 Electronic Village: EV Technology Fair
Practicing Integrated Speaking Tasks for the iBT TOEFL with Voxopop
Christine Bauer-Ramazani |
Abstract: Recording a one-minute response to a speaking prompt on the iBT TOEFL requires practice with computer recording and quick organization of thoughts. The task prompts students to integrate the main points of a reading and brief lecture on the same topic. The presenter will show how she uses her Voxopop Talkgroup “TOEFL iBT Speaking Practice” with high-intermediate to advanced Intensive English Program students to prepare for this task. In line with iBT TOEFL timing, students prepare a brief outline, then record their timed response. Using criteria for peer-reviewing, students review each other’s recordings and leave a recorded feedback message. Presenter Bio: Christine is an instructor of English and teacher trainer at Saint Michael's College in Vermont, U.S.A. Christine’s specialty is integrating technology into learning and teaching, a topic that she has presented on at conferences around the world. Christine authored and has been teaching a Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) course online at Saint Michael's College and also teaches an annual course in TESOL's Principles and Practices of Teaching Online Certificate program.
