TUGAS SOFTSKILL BAHASA INGGRIS BISNIS 2

STRATEGI MENJAWAB SOAL LISTENING TOEFL DENGAN BENAR

Bagian pertama dalam test TOEFL adalah Listening Comperhension dimana peserta akan di dengarkan beberapa dialog singkat, dialog panjang dan pidato panjang diikuti dengan pertanyaan  yang pilihan jawabannya ada di kertas soal.
Bagi kebanyakan orang bagian Listening merupakan yang paling sulit dalam test TOEFL . Karena orang berbicara dalam percakapan adalah native speaker sangat berbeda dengan penyampaian oleh orang Indonesia yang sering kita dengar di sekolahan atau tempat kursus. Mereka bicara cepat dan kadang peserta belum mengerti apa yang di sampaikannya.
Walaupun sulit tidak harus menyerah karena sebenarnya test TOEFL disamping membutuhkan kemampuan bahasa inggris juga berkaitan dengan strategi yang digunakan saat menjawab soal- soal tersebut :
Berikut adalah beberapa strategi cara menjawab tes listening toefl yang bisa anda coba :
Strategi Umum
1. Pahamilah bentuk-bentuk perintah (Direction pada masing-masing bagian (part) dengan baik sebelum hari H)
2. Baca pilihan-pilihan jawaban masing-masing soal ketika narrator sedang membacakan direction dan contoh soal (Direction sudah di baca sebelum hari H)
3. Dengarkan penuh konsentrasi dan fokus perhatian Anda pada percakapan yang sedang anada dengarkan
4. Maksimalkan kemampuan listeing pada soal-soal pertama masing-masing part

Strategi Khusus
PART A : Short Conversation
5. Fokus mendengar pada pembicara kedua
6. Janganpanik bila tidak memahami kata demi kata dalam percakapan secara kompliy, hanya perlu meangkap ide dan isi percakapan
7. Bila tidak bisa memahami apa yang diucapakan pembicara kedua, pilihlah jawaban yang paling berbeda dari yang anda dengar
8. Pahamilah bentuk-bentuk functional expression(agreement, suggestion, suprice,dll), idiomatic expression dan situasi ketika pembicaraan dilakukan



PART B : Longer Conversation
9. Ketika narrator membicarakan direction par B sebaiknya membaca pilihan jawaban secara sekilas kemudian merekamnya dan memperkirakan tema apa yang akan diperbincangkan
10. Ketika menyimak conversation, anda harus mengetahui tema/topic yang dibicarakan
11. Waspadalah pada masing-masing pertanyaan
12. Cermati kondisi dan situasi yang terjadi selama percakapan berlangsung yakni menyangkut dengan tempat dan waktu pembicaraaan, apa dan siapa yang dibicarakan

PART C : TALK
13. Bila anda memiliki banyak waktu, lihatlah pilihan-pilihan jawaban yang tertera pada lembar soal dan temukan kata kuncinya
14. Waspada pembicaraan pada kalimat-kalimat pertama karena biasanya menjadi topic bagi kalimat-kalimat selanjutnya
15. Fokus mendengarkan pada hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan pertanyaan 5-WH (What, Why, Who, When, Where) dan How
16. Buatlah kesimpulan atas situasi yang terjadi saat pembicaraan dilakukan.

Adapun hal-hal yang dapat mempengaruhi pencapaian skor pada listening TOEFL adalah
· Kualitas Alat Pemutar
Kualias suara yang jernih dan jelas dari alat pemutar kaset atau CD akan berpengaruh positif terhadap konsentrasi peserta tes.
· Speech of Delivery (tingkat kecepatan percakapan)
Tingkat kecepatan kalimat yang dilontarkan oleh pembicara harus mampu ditangkap secara baik oleh pendengarnya agar dapat memahami maksud dari percakapan tersebut.
· Idiomatic Expression dan Multipart Verbs
Tanpa mengenal idiomatic Expression dan Multipart Verbs, sulit bagi peserta tes untuk menjawab listening test yang berkaitan dengan kedua hal tersebut.
