Guys,
As we discussed in the previous class, there are many editorials launching TOEFL materials for test-takers to succeed in that examination. However, we have been able to disclose the mistakes that alternative editorials make by the time they submit TOEFL information. My questions for you are, how useful or detrimental is it to employ alternative editorials, as a complement to reinforce apprentices' learning? Is there any benefit if we contrast alternative editorials with Educational testing services?

UNIT 2: Listening in the TOEFL
-
Guys,
I have created this rubric for you to appraise the contribution of your peers in the project of formative research. I hope you are honest, and you don't favor people who didn't come up with ideas for the project. Discuss this in the groups you worked on. if a peer didn't entirely contribute, don't feel guilty to put him/her a low score; if that happens, all the members of the team will score that peer with a low grade by safeguarding your high scores. Conversely, if all members of the team agree on a high grade, you only have to select a peer to evaluate, score him/her with this rubric, and upload such rubric in the section below. This evaluation must be conducted individually.

Guys,
Knowing how to take annotations is an important key to succeed in the listening section of the TOEFL. My questions for you are, What do you do when listening to a real lecture at UNACH? What parts of the lecturer's speech do you annotate most? Let's suppose that you are listening to an hour session.

Guys,
We know that taking proper annotations in the TOEFL IBT is the key to obtain a good score. However, due to the limited time we have, as test-takers, we are not capable of copying every single detail from a lecture. In fact, this does not occur even in a real lecture. As students, we are expected to develop a unique system of communication for annotating ideas, that is, symbols or particular annotations which recall us important details from a lecture. My dear students, Can you please describe your system of annotations? I mean, What do you do when you listen to important information from a lecture, but, because of the time, you are not able to copy the whole statement?

During classes, we have discussed the multiple interpretations that a response in the TOEFL IBT, either in the reading or in the listening skill, might entail. Some given situations in that exam, according to our academic background, could take us to select wrongly a response, and as a result, our general score in a particular skill would be affected. What can you do in order to apply good interpretations to the given statements? What should it rule in your decisions by the time you select a response in the TOEFL?

Guys,
I know some of you still face some complications in the listening of the TOEFL IBT. As a matter of fact, we have practiced in classes with complicated audios and sometimes wrong responses have appeared unannounced when supposedly they were correct. With this antecedent, we know that the key to succeeding in the listening section of the TOEFL IBT is in the annotations, but the question is, what to annotate? because we have no too much time to copy every single detail from a lecture. I know that I already formulated this context previously, specifically in week 9, however, now that we have comprehended better what some strategies of listening in the TOEFL are about, you are to discuss as follows: Based on the listening strategies 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the BARRON'S EDITORIAL, what should it be considered as hints to be annotated when a speaker offers a talk?

In classes, we realized that distinguishing the tone of voice employed by the lecturer is crucial to take good annotations, Ex: the chemical element inhabiting meteorites. Sometimes, we can omit important data because we do not know how to differentiate from a tone of voice expressing surprise to a tone of voice entailing bewilderment. Can you please discuss the most common punchy phrases that the speaker utilizes to introduce important information? I mean, what words, phrases, or linking words make you think what you are going to annotate is relevant?
