Nadine's TOEFL test was on the 24th, so this time I stayed for as long as she wanted so we could do some final studying and reviewing together. We mainly focused on the speaking and listening portions, especially the integrated activities. Since the computer lab was occupied with a class, I searched up listening portions of the TOEFL online. They were very similar to the test! We listened to them in my phone. She did pretty good on the comprehension questions when it came to listening, but sill struggled greatly when it came to speaking. Even when she would jot down notes, she spent too much time pausing and often wouldn't be able to communicate all that I know she is capable of in just a short 45 or 60 seconds. I think it is nerves more than anything, because when we are speaking she has no problem communicating effectively.
Her reading comprehension skills are much improved! She does great with unfamiliar words by using context to figure out the meanings. For instance, words like "concur" and "abundant" were introduced, and the questions asked for the closest synonym. She got most of them right, which made me happy!
I hope she passes the TOEFL on Saturday!
