Mastering the TOEFL Speaking section goes beyond just knowing vocabulary and grammar—it’s about pronunciation, rhythm, and cultural awareness.

Join us as we explore:
✔️ How CAPT technology improves word stress, rhythm, and intonation
✔️ The role of SpeechRater and AI-powered feedback in TOEFL prep
✔️ Cultural differences in communication and how they impact understanding and clarity
✔️ How AI tools provide personalized pronunciation training anytime, anywhere

From international teaching assistants (ITAs) to TOEFL test-takers, we uncover how CAPT and AI-driven learning can transform speaking skills—helping learners become clear, confident communicators.
