Midterm Review

Hi Students. Hopefully you know that next week is our midterm test. The test will contain information from the class lecture powerpoint presentations, as well as some TOEFL listening conversations. The listening questions will be from conversations, not lectures. I think the lectures are a little too difficult right now. So far, we have studied:

1) Main idea questions
2) Factual, negative factual, and inference questions
3) Purpose and attitude questions

So, these are the kinds of questions that will be on the test. Similar to the real TOEFL test, you will not be able to read the questions before you listen. So, it's important that you take good notes while listening. You will listen to each conversation 2 times, then answer the questions.

Click here to find some good practice. There are 3 conversations. I would listen to them, take notes, and then click 추가정보 to answer the questions. Don't look at the questions first. This will not help you, because you can't do this on the test. There are several other listening activities on YouTube that you can listen to and practice with. Just do a search for 'TOEFL listening conversations'.

The test will not be easy, so you should study a lot. Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.
