托福口說測驗新舊制差異簡介

自2023年7月26日起實施的托福新制，與過去舊制相同，均在托福口說測驗會有獨立型口說1題、整合型口說3題，測驗時間也維持在17分鐘。但和舊制不同的是，過去在考口說之前，會有中場休息時間10分鐘，但新制在考完前一科聽力後，隨即進行口說測驗。另外，新制托福口說測驗也取消過往不計分的加試題，考生可以省去作答這些得不到分數，但仍得耗費不少心神的題目。

托福口說測驗內容

獨立型口說

托福口說測驗的第一題是獨立型口說，以個人日常生活經驗為主，敘述自己的意見與偏好，也被稱為是「個人選擇」問題，有15秒準備，並有45秒發表意見。以下是獨立型口說最常出現的三種題型：

(1) 同意／不同意

這是最常見的題型，會詢問你是否同意某一個論述，你應該說明你同意或反對該論述的原因，並舉例說明。範例如下：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Choosing what a child should read will not develop good reading habits in the child.

Use specific examples and details to support your opinion.

你可以參考以下框架來回應：

Personally, I think…（8秒）

First of all…（10秒）

For instance…（15秒）

Moreover…（12秒）

融合以上框架後，可以這樣回應：

Personally, I disagree with the statement that choosing what a child should read will not develop good reading habits in the child.

First of all, guidance is crucial in the initial stages of reading development, to familiarize the child with age-appropriate materials and genres, which can stimulate interest and encourage reading.

For instance, if a child is interested in space, parents or educators could introduce him or her to books on astronomy. This not only caters to the child’s interest but also introduces them to the joy of reading, eventually forming a good reading habit.

Moreover, guidance in reading selection can help children to gradually understand more complex text structures and content, thereby enhancing their reading skills and enriching their knowledge. Gradually, they can become independent readers who are capable of choosing their own reading materials.

(2) 配對選擇

這種題型有時會出現，但頻率不像同意／不同意的問題那麼高。題目會詢問你對某一問題看法，從不同選項中選擇一個答案，你必須說明選擇該選項的原因，並舉例說明自己的論點。範例如下：

Some students rely on college financial aid to cover their educational expenses, while others prefer to seek part-time employment. Which approach do you believe is more effective? Provide specific reasons and examples to support your viewpoint.

你可以參考以下框架來回應：

Personally, I think…（8秒）

First of all…（10秒）

For instance…（15秒）

Moreover…（12秒）

融合以上框架後，可以這樣回應：

Personally, I think that relying on college financial aid can be more effective for covering educational expenses than seeking part-time employment.

First of all, financial aid allows students to focus solely on their academics without the added burden of balancing studies with work. This can lead to better academic performance.

For instance, if a student receives a scholarship covering tuition, he or she can devote more time to studying, researching, or even participating in extracurricular activities that enrich the overall college experience. This might not be possible with part-time employment due to the time commitment it requires.

Moreover, financial aid can potentially cover more expenses than a part-time job, as part-time earnings might not be sufficient to cover high tuition costs, especially at private institutions or for out-of-state students.

(3) 想像情境

相較於前面兩種題型，想像情境題極少出現。題目會問你對某一種情境或條件的看法，你必須說明看法，並舉實例說明自己的論點。範例如下：

Nowadays, many students have the option to participate in virtual classes instead of attending physical classes on campus. Do you think virtual classes offer advantages over traditional classroom settings? Support your answer with specific reasons and examples.

你可以參考以下框架來回應：

Personally, I think…（8秒）

First of all…（10秒）

For instance…（15秒）

Moreover…（12秒）

融合以上框架後，可以這樣回應：

Personally, I think virtual classes do offer several advantages over traditional classroom settings, although they also come with their own challenges.

First of all, virtual classes offer flexibility. They allow students to learn at their own pace and comfort, which can be particularly beneficial for those juggling other responsibilities.

For instance, a working student or a student living in a different time zone can watch recorded lectures at a time that suits them, without the need to travel or adjust their schedules drastically. This wouldn’t be possible in a traditional classroom setting.

Moreover, virtual classes often use various online tools and platforms which can make classes interactive and engaging. For example, students can participate in online polls, quizzes, and discussions, which can enhance their learning experience.

整合型口說——校園對話

托福口說測驗的整合型口說會有三題，第一題和校園對話有關，你會先看到一篇閱讀文章（必須在45秒內閱讀完畢），而後聽見一段對話（長約1到1.5分鐘），最後你必須在30秒鐘準備後，以60秒鐘回答問題。

(1) 閱讀

閱讀部份，長度大約100字，通常是公告、文章或信函。你必須在45秒的時間閱讀、做筆記，主題通常包括校園的建築物、課程和修習規定、校園交通、課外活動如社團等。範例如下：

Unauthorized Dorm Access for Strangers

The school management has received reports of increased thefts within dormitories, and preliminary evidence has shown that such incidents are done by non-dormitory members. This policy serves to inform students of a new policy on dorm access. With immediate effect, no student is allowed to bring a non-dorm member into their rooms. One of the reasons for this change is that allowing access to non-dorm members can create opportunities for theft. Consequently, members are prohibited from bringing their classmates or friends into their dorms. Additionally, the policy will deter students from hosting their friends overnight and inconveniencing their fellow roommates. The management is keen to police this directive and ensure all dorm members enjoy their privacy without any inconvenience. 

(2) 聽力

聽力部份，長度約1分鐘到1分半鐘。你會聽到兩位學生的對話，討論他們同意／不同意上述閱讀篇章的原因。範例如下：

Now listen to two students as they discuss the notice.

M: Have you read the new dorm policy notice put out today?

F: Yes, I did.

M: I think she makes some excellent points.

F: Really? Well, I don’t agree with her points at all!

M: Why?

F: She is overlooking how beneficial the dorms are to those of us who live off-campus.

M: What do you mean?

F: First of all, dorms are a great place to relax when classes are far apart. Those of us living off-campus often go to one of our friends’ dorms to relax. This space allows us to talk freely, take snacks, or even a nap when necessary. The university can curb theft by other means, rather than restricting access to dorms.

M: Oh wow! I didn’t even think about it from that perspective.

F: Yes. For us ladies in particular, these dorms are a safe haven, especially on days when you feel you need to relax and stay away from other people, or need to freshen up again.

M: What about the other reason she offers for the policy change?

F: Hosting a friend is no big deal, especially if they are stranded for a day or two. And, who said hosting other students inconveniences the rest of the roommates?

M: Do students really do that?

F: The women do, yes. In most cases they tell each another before bringing someone new into the hostel. Anyone sleeping overnight is most likely another woman, as men would inconvenience others.

(3) 口說

而後，你會看到一段題目。必須整合剛剛所聽到、看到的一切。30秒準備時間後，在60秒時間內陳述你的答案。特別注意，你在準備或發表口說答案時，無法看到剛剛的閱讀內容。範例如下：

The woman expresses her opinion about the new dorm policy. Briefly summarize the policy, then state the woman’s opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.

(4) 回應框架與範例

你可以參考以下框架來回應：

According to the announcement, …（6秒）

This is because ___ and ___.（6秒）

The man / woman opposes / supports this.（2秒）

To begin with, he / she points out that…（23秒）

Moreover, he / she argues that…（23 秒）

融入上述架構後，回應範例如下：

According to the announcement, the school is implementing a new policy that prohibits students from bringing non-dorm members into their dorms due to an increase in theft incidents.

This is because such access potentially creates opportunities for theft and could inconvenience roommates when students host their friends overnight.

The woman opposes this.

To begin with, she points out that dorms provide an essential space for off-campus students. Between classes, they can relax, chat, eat snacks, or even nap at their friends’ dorms. She believes the university should find alternative methods to prevent theft rather than restricting access to the dorms. Furthermore, she adds that for women, especially, dorms serve as a safe haven where they can retreat and freshen up when necessary.

Moreover, she argues that having guests, even overnight, isn’t necessarily an inconvenience to other roommates. In her experience, women often notify each other before bringing someone new to the dorm, and men usually aren’t allowed as they could potentially cause discomfort to others. She insists that hosting a friend for a day or two should not be a significant issue.

整合型口說——學術講座

整合型口說的第二題，是和學術講座有關。你會先看到一篇關於某個學術主題的短文（必須在45秒內閱讀完畢），而後會聽到關於同一主題的短篇演說（長度約1到2分鐘），而後你要在30秒鐘準備時間後，以60秒鐘時間回答問題。

(1)閱讀

此部份閱讀文章，通常是關於一個特定術語或概念，可以從文章標題看出來。而後你會看到內文裡對該術語或概念細節的說明。考生必須在45秒內閱讀、做筆記。常見的主題包括：生物學、動物、商業、行銷、心理學、學習、藝術、歷史、文化等。範例如下：

Computer Algorithms

Computers have transformed how we work, communicate, and share items with others. At the heart of this computing success lie algorithms. By its simplest definition, a computer algorithm is a set of computational rules working together to solve a particular problem. These rules provide the user or program with pre-defined steps on how to manage a given problem. Errors in the algorithm can have huge implications for the intended outcome. Consequently, creating efficient algorithms is critical to developing error-free computer programs. As technology continues to advance, computer algorithms become more complex and efficient at solving problems through an increasing number of alternatives.

(2) 聽力

聽力部份，講座通常長約1.5分鐘，與閱讀篇章的術語或概念相關。聆聽時，必須把要點紀錄下來，注意講座中，會用一到兩個例子說明此術語或概念。範例如下：

Now listen to a lecture on this topic in a computer class.

We have previously defined computer algorithms and their role in solving computational problems. In this lecture, we will discuss simple real-life examples of computer algorithms at work. In most cases, you interact with computer algorithms without giving them much thought or understanding how their efficiency is helping you solve your problems. For now, think about the following scenarios. First, you open Netflix and watch a documentary on crime and murder. At the end of the film, the program gives you several recommendations on other “similar” documentaries you can watch immediately. Secondly, you are relaxing, and open your Facebook page to browse and see what your friends are doing. While scrolling, you come across several ads on specific items you recently researched on Google.

In both scenarios, you unwittingly encountered the power of computer algorithms, which play a significant role in how humans interact with everyday-use-applications. Once the programs understand your routine or preferences, they use algorithms to optimize your results and predict what you want to view next. In the case of Netflix, recommendations are based on your search results and what you have watched in the past. The same principle is also applicable to many other entertainment sites, including YouTube. On the other hand, the application of computer algorithms has propelled social media into an effective marketing platform. Companies are exploiting algorithms to tailor ads to users, shifting the narrative of mainstream advertising. Given the integration of artificial intelligence and computer algorithms, what we experience when using social media and Netflix applications is only a scratch of the surface.

(3) 口說

而後，你會看到一段題目。必須整合剛剛所聽到、看到的一切。30秒準備時間後，在60秒時間內陳述你的答案。特別注意，你在準備或發表口說答案時，無法看到剛剛的閱讀內容。範例如下：

Explain how the lecture’s use of Facebook and Netflix illustrates computer algorithms and its applications.

(4) 回應框架與範例

你可以參考以下框架來回應：

The reading is about…（5秒）

This is… （10秒）

The professor elaborates on this. （5秒）

First, he explains… （20秒）

Second, he notes that… （20秒）

融合上述框架後，回應範例如下：

The reading is about computer algorithms, which are a set of computational rules used to solve problems, with their accuracy being vital for the development of error-free computer programs.

This is important because as technology evolves, so too does the complexity and efficiency of these algorithms, enabling them to solve problems through an increasing number of alternatives.

The professor elaborates on this by providing real-life examples of how these algorithms work in everyday applications.

First, he explains the case of Netflix, where after watching a documentary, the program recommends similar films. This is due to algorithms understanding your preferences and viewing habits, thereby predicting what you may want to watch next. The same principle applies to other entertainment platforms like YouTube.

Second, he notes that on Facebook, users often see ads for items they recently researched elsewhere on the internet. This happens because algorithms are being used to customize ads for individual users based on their browsing history. He mentions that this application of computer algorithms has significantly changed the way marketing is done on social media platforms.

整合型口說——課堂演講

整合型口說的第三題，場景是課堂演講。你會先聽到一段長約1.5到2分鐘的講座，描述某事物兩種不同做法，或是一個自然現象的兩種演變方式。而後，你必須在20秒鐘準備後，用60秒鐘回答問題。

(1) 聽力

你會聽到一段長約1.5到2分鐘的講座，解釋某種事物兩種不同的做法，或是某一個自然現象兩種演進過程。講座會以簡短介紹開始，以3到5個句子說明和定義主題後，舉兩個例子說明主題。常見的主題包括生物學、動物、商業、行銷、心理學、學習、藝術、歷史、文學，範例如下：

Now listen to part of a talk in a United States natural science class.

The world’s climate is changing at a rapid rate, raising alarm over the need for better initiatives from developed and developing nations alike. Several decades ago, extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes, drought, and flooding, were rare occasions. However, recent times have demonstrated an increase of these events. The destruction caused by hurricane Katrina in the United States is a testament to the impact of climate change on the ecosystem. Additionally, increasing reports of massive forest wildfires, scorching temperatures, and devastating drought periods, show the dire nature of climate change, setting the stage for far worse outcomes in the coming decades. Human activities are the primary cause of the climate change leading to the extreme weather conditions experienced today. This lecture presents two ways human activities fuel climate change.

First, human-driven land use is rapidly contributing to changing climatic conditions. Additionally, the human population is increasing at an alarming rate, and the current extent of land use for agriculture and settlement can no longer sustain our needs. Urbanization has also been on the rise, with massive factories springing up as well. Increased population in Brazil has led to people cutting down parts of the country’s Amazon rainforest for resettlement and agriculture, destroying the forest’s natural ecosystem. The dense trees and other indigenous plants present in the Amazon store massive amounts of carbon, and when the trees are cut, this gas is released into the atmosphere, causing climate change and global warming. Clearing the trees for land destroys the natural habitat of indigenous animals, while disrupting water cycle patterns.

Secondly, humans burn fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas, to generate energy and electricity. For example, we use natural gas to heat our homes, while coal is used extensively to produce electricity in large power plants. However, whenever we burn these fossil fuels, they release carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. These gases cause the greenhouse effect, whereby the sun’s rays are reflected back into the atmosphere. They also further increase the acidity of precipitation, forming acid rain that contaminates freshwater sources, harming the ecosystem.

(2) 口說

而後，你會看到一段題目。必須整合剛剛所聽到、看到的一切，在20秒準備時間後，以60秒時間陳述你的答案。特別注意，你在準備或發表口說答案時，無法看到剛剛的閱讀內容。範例如下：

Using points and examples from the lecture, describe two human activities that lead to extreme climate change.

(3) 回應框架與範例

你可以參考以下框架來回應：

The lecturer explains two… （10秒）

First of all… （10秒）

To be specific… （15秒）

Secondly…  （10秒）

The professor says… （15秒）

融合上述框架後，回應範例如下：

The lecturer explains two primary ways human activities contribute to extreme climate change: human-driven land use and burning of fossil fuels.

First of all, she discusses the impact of human-driven land use on climate change.

To be specific, she refers to the destruction of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil due to increased population needs for settlement and agriculture. Cutting down the dense trees releases massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, leading to global warming. Moreover, this destruction disrupts water cycle patterns and destroys habitats of indigenous animals.

Secondly, the lecturer discusses the harmful effects of burning fossil fuels.

The professor says that when we use fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas for energy and heating, they release carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. These gases cause the greenhouse effect and increase the acidity of precipitation, resulting in acid rain that contaminates freshwater sources and harms the ecosystem.

托福口說測驗難易度

托福口說測驗共分為兩種題型：獨立型口說、整合型口說。獨立型口說相對比較容易，回答內容依照考生自己意見發揮即可，只要舉例充分、論點清楚不搖擺，加上結構完整，文法、發音在一定水準之上，分數通常不會太差。

而第二部份的整合型口說，由於是測試考生聽力、閱讀、口說的整合能力，往往需要更扎實的準備，才有辦法得到高分。

托福口說測驗答題技巧

回答架構要清晰

托福口說測驗過程中並沒有真人對答的互動，考生要面對的反而是電腦考試的制式嚴謹感，每一題都有固定的時間限制，看到畫面上秒數倒數完畢後，聽到「嗶」一聲，才開始作答。一定要平常多練習，在這樣的時間和臨場壓力下，才能回答出清晰架構的答案，而不會因緊張而表現荒腔走板。

詞彙力求多樣化

無論是獨立型口說，或是整合型口說，提到某一個同樣的概念或重複動作時，記得不要一直使用同一個詞彙，務必要把使用的詞彙多樣化。例如，表達「說」，除了使用say，還可以用意義相近的describe（敘述）、mention（提到）、refer（提及）、point out（指出）、indicate（指出）、show（顯示）、assume（認為）等代替。

用轉折詞連結不同觀點

連結不同觀點時，可以運用轉折詞，會讓口說內容更具層次與結構。常見的轉折詞包括：moreover（再者）、therefore（因此）、however（然而）等。

混搭簡單句和複合句

無論是獨立型口說，或是整合型口說，回答時千萬不要全部只用兩三個字組合的簡單句表達，即便你的內容很充實，也可能因此少了幾分托福所需的學術味。建議混合搭配簡單句、複合句，對分數才會有加乘效果。

時間要精準分配

整合型口說回答時間一共有60秒，談論閱讀篇章時，最多花15秒時間，再用另外45秒談論剛剛提到的對話內容。因為閱讀篇章通常只是破題，真正的內容推進是在口說部份，而評分重點也會以後者總結為主。

托福口說測驗作答時間

托福口說測驗共分為四題，總時長約17分鐘。第一題是獨立型口說，看到題目後有15秒時間準備，而後用45秒回答。第二、三題是整合型口說，會先用45秒左右時間看一篇閱讀文章，而後再聽一篇1到1.5分鐘的內容，最後在30秒答題準備後，用60秒回答。第四題也是整合型口說，但不包含閱讀，一開始會直接聽一篇1到2分鐘的內容，而後在20秒準備後，用60秒回答問題。

托福口說測驗準備攻略

理解托福口說的評分標準

在托福官方單位ETS（Educational Testing Service，美國教育考試服務中心）發行的托福官方指南（TOEFL Official Guide）中，有名列口說測驗的評分標準，包括Topic Development（內容發展）、Delivery（表達能力）、Language Use（語言使用嫻熟度），建議可以依照這三項內容標準，擬定備戰攻略，分述如下：

內容發展：
很多學生會緊張到頭腦一片空白，是因為不知道要說什麼。因此必須先有中心思想，而後發想出支持論點，確定自己的解釋有條理，讓別人聽到是有憑有據，最後再把回答長度調整到合乎45秒、60秒的時間要求。

表達能力
有想法、知道要回答什麼以後，再來調整技巧，讓回答聽起來更有說服力。必須確保回答流暢無誤，不要一直停頓或吃螺絲，而且要力保發音正確、咬字清晰悅耳。以上條件都達標後，再從YouTube、Podcast資源比對母語人士調整語調，讓整體口說內容表達更貼近母語人士的方式。

語言使用嫻熟度
很多考生一開始練習口說時，就想要用複雜的句型、艱澀的單字，但在內容不夠扎實，整體表達不過流暢時，光有漂亮的句型和單字，並不會對分數有太大助益。應該是要等到前面兩項條件都已具備後，再來用困難的單字與句型，分數才會如水到渠成。

平時就要練習做筆記

托福的整合型口說，每一個閱讀、聽力篇章中，往往蘊藏很多資訊，必須在短時間內吸收。因此，平常就要培養速記習慣。以校園對話而言，得快速記下學生同意或反對該事項的原因。至於學術講座、課堂演講，也務必要把課堂中的重點紀錄下來。

把架構內化到自己的回答中

很多考生會死背模板或架構，硬套到自己口說回答中。建議背下模板和架構的同時，也一定要理解背後的邏輯，並內化到你的思考裡，如此才會記得更長久，整體口說回答內容也會比較自然。

托福口說測驗學習資源

托福官方資源

托福官方單位ETS（Educational Testing Service，美國教育考試服務中心）針對托福口說測驗發行指南（TOEFL Official Guide），提供考試要點與技巧，並附有實際口說練習題。從這些資源，可以了解托福口說測驗的評分標準，並模仿官方提供的標準回答形式，產出屬於自己的高分答案，可以做為首要學習管道。

英語語言學習交換平台

像是Tandem、HelloTalk等語言交換平台，可以找到願意相互學習對方語言的夥伴，建議你可以在上面找到英語為母語的學習者，透過不斷練習、對話提升英語口說能力，不只可以得到即時反饋，也對改善發音、語調非常有幫助。

托福考試準備課程

許多坊間英語學習機構，如菁英國際語言教育中心，以及像是Atlas101線上平台，都有提供專門針對托福考試的課程，其中也包含口說。專業教育可以提供你實際建議，逐一突破你的學習盲點。這些課程通常包含模擬考試，可以在模仿考試的高壓環境下練習，可以提供給你更實用的技巧與策略。

托福口說測驗自學準備方法

模擬並測試自己的語速

托福口說測驗要求在有限時間內完成回答，很多考生因為不知道自己說話速度有多快，在托福口說測驗時，一直到時間結束還沒把答案重點說完。建議一定要進行模擬實戰，而且一定要測量自己在應答時間內可以回答多少字。獨立型口說45秒回答時間內，最好要回答100字；整合型口說60秒回答時間內，最好要回答130字。這樣可以幫助你駕馭時間，並習慣在壓力下思考、說話。

練習聽力理解

托福口說測驗需要聽懂短篇演講、對話，並在短時間內總結重點。因此，提升英語聽力理解能力非常重要。建議你可以多看英語電影、新聞，或是英語母語人士錄製的podcast，並試著以英文重述所聽見的內容，不僅可以增強聽力理解能力，還可以學習如何有效總結複雜訊息。

請別人聽自己的回答

無論你的英文程度如何，要在托福口說測驗拿到高分，都需要大量練習。因為托福口說測驗很容易因為對題型不熟悉、臨場狀況不佳而塞翁失馬。建議你在練習時不要只是自己閉門造車，很容易淪為自我感覺良好。應該找志同道合的戰友組成讀書會，針對彼此的回答給建議，或是請母語人士聽過以後給意見，對分數的提升會較有幫助。

累積高頻率單字庫

托福口說測驗重視英語的精確表達，因此回答時針對一件事，最好不要只有一種說法，而要懂得替換詞彙和架構。以下精選10個在構思口說回應時，最實用的高頻率詞彙：

firstly / secondly / thirdly (adv.) 首先、其次、再次
Firstly, we need to consider the financial aspects. Secondly, we should evaluate the benefits.
首先，我們需要考慮財務方面。其次，我們應評估利益。

furthermore/moreover (adv.) 此外、再者
Furthermore, students who partake in physical activities show better concentration.此外，參加體育活動的學生表現出更好的專注力。

however (adv.) 然而
I like the concept. However, the implementation may be difficult.
我喜歡這個概念。然而，實施可能會很困難。

therefore (adv.) 因此
The costs are high.  Therefore, we need to reconsider our approach.
成本很高。因此，我們需要重新考慮我們的方法。

on the other hand (phrase) 另一方面
The idea is interesting. On the other hand, it may not be feasible.
這個想法很有趣，另一方面，它可能不可行。

in conclusion (phrase) 總結
In conclusion, I believe that virtual classes have numerous benefits.
總的來說，我相信虛擬課堂有很多好處。

for instance (phrase) 舉例來說
There are many benefits of reading. For instance, it expands our knowledge.
閱讀有許多好處。例如，它擴大了我們的知識。

as a result (phrase) 因此
She worked hard, and as a result, she got a promotion.
她努力工作。因此，她得到了晉升。

in contrast (phrase) 相反
He loves to travel. In contrast, his sister prefers staying at home.
他喜歡旅行，相反，他的姐姐喜歡待在家裡。

similarly (adv.) 同樣地
I enjoy reading novels. Similarly, my friend also loves literature.
我喜歡閱讀小說，同樣地，我的朋友也喜歡文學。

托福口說測驗必備高效學習工具

很多考生準備托福口說測驗時，往往會遇到一種窘境：為了和正式考試時間賽跑，在單字、句型、文法還不夠扎實時，拚命練習口說，但花了再多時間，模擬考試成績依舊不動如山，原因就在於策略嚴重失誤。

怎樣才是正確的策略？事實上，學習任何一種語言都一樣，可以粗略把所需要的能力分成「輸入式」的聽、讀，和「輸出式」的說、寫。要有好的「輸出」，就必須要有更扎實的「輸入」。

菁英累積過去近30年教學經驗，發現部分學生日以繼夜準備托福，成績卻依舊上不去，原因就在沒有好的「輸入」打基礎。因此，菁英耗費兩年時間，研發Atlas101英語學習平台，採用「先輸入，再輸出」的教學理念，先讓學生接受系統的聽、讀訓練，再由真人教師針對較棘手的說、寫調整，循序漸進打好托福各項測驗所需基礎。

程度沒那麼好的學生，一樣也可以用這套系統嗎？答案是肯定的。因為菁英研發Atlas101時，特別採用AI技術，搭配每一次的課前測驗，讓你在做完測驗後，由系統判定你當下的程度落點在哪，由AI分配適當難度的課程，宛如一台搭載全新科技的自駕車，車速適中，且有明確方向，不會讓你因為課程很難，而自信心全無，也不會讓你因為課程過度簡單，而導致錯估托福正式考試難度。

托福口說測驗必備高效學習工具

線上學習APP魔字世界Vocawiz

雖然托福口說測驗並不要求使用艱澀的字彙，但如果回答已經具備清楚的中心思想、論點和結構，懂得靈活運用不同的字彙表達某一件事物，確實可以對分數有正確影響。

然而，很多台灣學生背單字總是「開不了口」，硬記單字拼法，不只很容易忘記，而且口說測驗要用時，一時間也不知該單字要怎麼念，最終只能憑印象硬說，但卻跟正確的讀音有極大落差。

菁英花費兩年時間研發的「魔字世界」，就從台灣學生這種普遍的痛點出發，讓你在背單字時，可以聽見單字的念法，一遍又一遍反覆聆聽，不知不覺中就會深深烙印在腦海，口說測驗需要時，就可以清楚說出正確的讀音。而當你背單字不只是用眼睛，而把嘴巴、耳朵也派上用場時，記憶深度與長度都會增加。

同時，很多台灣學生都視背單字為畏途。菁英一方面讓考生可以把時間花在最必要的單字上，於是運用Big Data（大數據）技術，從過去近30年資料庫中撈出托福最必要的高頻率單字，而且還搭配相關字族一起呈現，讓考生不會浪費時間在鮮少在托福考試使用的單字上，而且一次可以記憶一整組單字。

另一方面，菁英則花心思在學習介面上。為了把背單字的痛苦與枯燥減到最低，菁英特別設計破關遊戲，搭配單字記誦，讓你在遊戲的輕鬆氛圍中，可以把托福考試所需單字一把抓。
