TOEFL Speaking (for the AI Era)
Washback: How the TOEFL® iBT Shapes Language Learning
In this episode of the TOEFL Speaking Prep Podcast, we explore how high-stakes exams like the TOEFL iBT® influence language learning strategies and motivation. Drawing on fascinating research from Turkey, we dive into how students preparing for both the globally recognized TOEFL and local university exams approached their studies, often in surprising ways.
We challenge the assumption that pressure leads to laser-focused preparation and uncover unexpected insights about student motivation, study strategies, and autonomy. What strategies really work when the stakes are high? How do assessments shape the way people learn, and can they actually push learners to develop new skills?
Tune in as we explore the balance between external pressure and genuine motivation, and offer actionable advice for anyone preparing for a major exam—or simply looking for a more effective way to learn.
