In this episode of the TOEFL Speaking Prep Podcast, we dive deep into a fascinating study from King Saud University, comparing face-to-face speaking assessments with technology-driven lab tests. What’s the verdict? From the personalized touch of human interaction to the consistency and accessibility of AI tools like SpeechRater, we explore how both approaches impact TOEFL preparation.

Discover how AI is revolutionizing language learning by offering personalized feedback, pinpointing areas for improvement, and creating opportunities for students worldwide. But can it replace the human connection that instructors value so much?

Join us as we unpack the balance between technology and human interaction, the role of community in learning, and practical tips for leveraging AI while maintaining that vital human touch. Whether you’re prepping for the TOEFL or passionate about language learning, this episode offers insights that will inspire and inform.

🎧 Tune in now to explore the best of both worlds and uncover your path to speaking confidence!
