Hi, everyone! I'd like to add the link to a very good site with TOEFL podcasts. My students usually listen to them and it is very helpful. However, just listening is not the best idea, you should work with them.

To improve your listening skills the technique should be the following:

a) First, listen to the same podcast as many times as you need to understand what it is about.
b) Read the script and translate all new words (it is better to write them out together with the translations and transcriptions; in this case you will remember them better)
c) Listen again paying special attention to the new words.
d) Do it until you hear each word clearly.

 

Here is the link:

Enjoy!
