TOEFL iBT Flashcards: 12 Task Types, Vocabulary & Strategy
Study the 12 current TOEFL iBT task types with 180 original cards on vocabulary, sentence patterns, task decisions, and reusable strategy cues.
このデッキについて
The TOEFL iBT changed worldwide on January 21, 2026. This independently written English deck gives you a compact active-recall layer for the current format: 180 cards across all 12 Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking task types.
Reviewed for the 2026 TOEFL iBT format.
What the cards ask you to retrieve
- current task name → format and skill being measured
- partial word or short original context → spelling, meaning, or word form
- sentence cue → grammatical structure
- original scenario or common miss pattern → the next useful decision
- communicative purpose → a natural response, email, discussion, or speaking move
- claim, detail, transition, or speaker cue → its role in comprehension
The sequence starts with a map of the 12 tasks, then follows the test order: Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Within each task, basic recognition comes before strategy decisions and production cues. Every card has the root toefl-ibt tag and one section tag.
What's deliberately left out
This deck is not a full TOEFL course, test simulation, official preparation product, or promise of a score. It does not reproduce adaptive Reading or Listening, one-play audio, pronunciation assessment, spontaneous speaking, or complete timed writing. Return to current ETS materials for that performance practice.
The deck also excludes copied exam questions, passages, answer choices, scoring rubrics, mark schemes, and curriculum text. It does not mechanically add definition-to-word reverse cards, because isolated reverse recall is often ambiguous; production directions appear only when a specific context or sentence makes the answer useful and clear.
Scope was reviewed against the current ETS test content page and the TOEFL iBT 2026 Test Blueprint and Specifications. Check those official sources for current requirements and later changes.
Facts and official task names are not claimed as original. The CC0 dedication applies to the deck's independently written prompts, answers, examples, organization, metadata, and original generated cover to the extent the contributor can dedicate those elements.
This independent, unofficial deck is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by ETS. TOEFL® and TOEFL iBT® are trademarks of ETS. No official questions, mark schemes, scoring rubrics, curriculum passages, logos, or trade dress are copied.

A distractor echoes vocabulary from the prompt but does not form a logical reply. Test the conversational link, not the word match.

Conversational relevance. Choose the option a person would naturally say next in that situation.

回答
A campus-life conversation between two people. The exchange may involve a problem, plan, service, class, or student activity.

回答
Write the speakers' shared purpose or central problem. A topic label alone is usually too broad.
カード 80

Listen to a Conversation — what should you track about each speaker?
回答
Each speaker's role and goal. Knowing who needs information, approval, or action makes the exchange easier to follow.
カード 81
質問

回答
Problem → options → decision. Add the reason for the final choice if the speakers give one.
カード 82
質問
Listen to a Conversation — which details are most worth writing down?
回答
Details that change the plan or explain a choice. Dates, requirements, obstacles, and decisions usually matter more than examples or greetings.
カード 83
質問
Listen to a Conversation — how can tone reveal speaker intent?
回答
Tone can show doubt, relief, hesitation, politeness, or disagreement. Combine it with the speaker's words before inferring intent.
カード 84
質問
Listen to a Conversation — what supports a sound inference?
回答
Two or more clues from the exchange. Choose what follows from the speakers' words and situation, not what is merely possible.

回答
Correct answers often restate the audio with different words. Match the idea rather than waiting for an exact phrase.
カード 86
質問
Listen to a Conversation — how can a two-column note layout help?
回答
Give each speaker a column. This keeps requests, objections, and decisions attached to the right person.
カード 87
質問
Listen to a Conversation — how do you predict a likely next action?
回答
Use the final decision plus any stated condition. The next action should follow directly from where the speakers leave the situation.
カード 88
質問
Listen to a Conversation — why can one memorable sentence be misleading?
回答
A single sentence may describe an option that the speakers later reject. Follow the whole exchange before choosing the outcome.
カード 89

回答
In an academic or campus setting. Expect a focused message about information students or staff need to act on.
カード 90
質問
Listen to an Announcement — which abilities does the task measure?

回答
Link them as cause → consequence. This prevents you from confusing why the change happened with what listeners must do.
カード 95
質問
Listen to an Announcement — how do you identify the likely next action?
回答
Look for instructions, deadlines, and eligibility conditions. The expected action must fit all three when they are stated.
カード 96
質問
Listen to an Announcement — what makes an implied conclusion safe?
回答
It follows from explicit facts in the message. Do not add campus rules or procedures that the speaker never mentions.
カード 97
質問
Listen to an Announcement — how should you handle numbers, dates, and room names?
回答
Write them in short form as soon as you hear them. Exact logistical details are harder to reconstruct from memory than the main purpose.
カード 98
質問
Listen to an Announcement — what evidence should control your answer?
回答
The speaker's actual message. Familiar campus routines may sound plausible, but they are not evidence unless the audio supports them.
カード 99

回答
A short academic talk by a professor or expert. It is focused rather than a long lecture set.
カード 100

カード 102

The relationship between ideas. They can mark sequence, contrast, or consequence before the content is complete.

回答
Write the term, a short definition, and one example if given. Keep the example attached to the concept it illustrates.
カード 109
質問
Listen to an Academic Talk — what makes an inference stronger than a guess?
回答
It combines the speaker's claim, supporting detail, and tone. A reasonable fact from outside the talk is still not enough.
カード 110

Listen to an Academic Talk — how can context unlock an uncommon word?
回答
Use the surrounding definition, contrast, example, or result. Infer the meaning needed in that sentence rather than a complete dictionary entry.
カード 111

回答
Read it through the speaker's point and tone, not word by word. The intended meaning must fit the surrounding explanation.
カード 112
質問

回答
Main idea → major point → evidence or example. Indentation helps you see which detail supports which claim.
カード 113

回答
It may replace or narrow an earlier statement. The revised idea, not the first rough version, is usually the one that matters.
カード 114
質問
Listen to an Academic Talk — how can the ending help you check your notes?
回答
Use the closing summary or conclusion to confirm the central point. Update your main-idea note if the talk's direction became clearer.
