Question 1

Does SpeakLingua support the new TOEFL 2026 format?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SpeakLingua is fully updated for the TOEFL 2026 format launched in January 2026. You can practice both new task types — Listen and Repeat and Take an Interview — with real exam timing and AI scoring on the official rubric.

Question 2

What are the 'Listen and Repeat' and 'Take an Interview' tasks in TOEFL 2026?

Accepted Answer

Listen and Repeat: You hear a sentence and must repeat it accurately. It tests pronunciation accuracy, rhythm, and connected speech. Take an Interview: A virtual interviewer asks you 4-6 progressive questions. It tests fluency, idea development, and natural pacing. These replaced the 4-task Speaking section from the old TOEFL format.

Question 3

I trained on the old TOEFL format — should I prepare differently?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The TOEFL 2026 Speaking section is fundamentally different. The old format had 4 tasks (1 Independent + 3 Integrated). The new format has 2 tasks (Listen and Repeat + Take an Interview). If you prepared for the old format, you need to retrain your responses and timing. SpeakLingua is built for the new format from day one.
