Hi! I’m M from . I’m here today with another quick tip about how to increase your TOEFL or IELTS speaking scores. Record yourself. Use an app like flipgrid ( and video all your answers.
I know, I’m not a big fan of hearing my voice or seeing myself on video either, but sometimes there’s just no way around it.
Watch your recording and check your responses for the following elements:
• Do you use a range of vocabulary in order to avoid repetition?
• Do you use a variety of verb tenses?
• Do you make any grammatical errors?
• Do you use an idiom?
• Is your pronunciation clear?
• Is your timing correct?
• Is your answer well structured?
• Do you address the topic appropriately?
• Are you making eye contact with the camera?
• Do you have natural intonation and good posture and energy?
Your checklist may be different depending on what aspects of your answers you’re specifically trying to develop.
Find your mistakes and correct them. Don’t just think, “oh, ok, next time, I’ll do this…” If you need to, take some notes on the changes you want to make to your answer. Look up synonyms, think of a suitable idiom, add a conditional. Then record yourself again. Watch the second version and give yourself a big pat on the back for your improvements and make a note of what you still need to work on.
Another great thing about flipgrid is you can go to the closed captions tab and read your script. It will help you evaluate how good your pronunciation is and spot grammatical errors.
