THE TOEFL LISTENING SECTION CHANGED ON JANUARY 21, 2026.

The new TOEFL Listening section is fast, adaptive, and intense. It tests your ability to understand "real" spoken English—including rapid responses, connected speech, and implied meanings.

If you are studying with books from 2025 or earlier, you are missing the most critical new task: "Listen and Choose a Response."

The Listening System is the ultimate ear-training course for the New 2026 TOEFL iBT. Spanning 590 pages, this book does not just test you; it trains your ears to hear English the way it is actually spoken.

MASTER THE 3 NEW LISTENING TASKS

The new test requires you to handle three distinct formats:

• Listen and Choose a Response: You hear a short question or statement (1–2 sentences) and must instantly choose the best pragmatic response.
• Conversations: Fast-paced dialogues in campus or daily-life contexts.
• Announcements & Academic Talks: Short, information-dense clips where you must identify the main idea and details after hearing them only once.

WHY MOST STUDENTS FAIL LISTENING

You know the vocabulary, but you can’t "hear" it. That is because native speakers link words together. This book solves that problem with a dedicated Phonetics & Connected Speech section.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

1. DECODE CONNECTED SPEECH
Learn how "going to" becomes "gonna" and how consonants disappear in fast speech. We train you to recognize these patterns instantly so you never get lost in a conversation.

2. MASTER PRAGMATICS
The new test asks: Why did the speaker say that? You will learn to identify polite refusals, uncertainty, and implied complaints—skills essential for the new "Choose a Response" task.

3. UNDERSTAND THE NEW 1–6 SCORE SCALE
The scoring system has changed. We explain the new international 1–6 band scale, how it is calculated, and how it compares to the old 0–30 scale.

BOOK FEATURES:

• 590 Pages of intensive training.
• Audio-Based Learning: Designed to work with accompanying audio tracks (downloadable).
• The "Listening Lab" Routine: A proven method to improve retention and speed.
• 4, 8, and 12-Week Study Plans: Tailored schedules for different study timelines.
• Full Simulation Practice: Drills that mimic the adaptive nature of the real test.
