whether or not a non-native English speaking student has the listening skills appropriate for learning in mid-level English learning environments Mid-level English learning environments include middle school and high school in North America One of the purposes for the TOEFL Junior listening test is to measure a test taker's ability to understand commonplace conversations (everyday topics, day-to-day events) that occur in a school environment The test taker should be able to understand main ideas and important details, be capable of making inferences or predictions, and understand the meanings behind prosodic use/intonation Test takers must also have the ability to listen for the purposes of learning The TOEFL Junior contains both lectures and instructional dialogues similar to the level of English used in mid-level learning environments Students must be able to understand school staff members in and outside of the classroom (in class, during school trips, in the lunch room, intercom messages, in the auditorium) while being capable of understanding a variety of roles that dialogues may have (school notices, reminders, warnings, or invitations) Test takers must understand main ideas, important details and have the ability to infer information or make predictions based on the material Lastly, test takers should know a speaker's purpose and understand any rhetorical devices used This book will cover all the need-to-know information mentioned above in detail Each question type is covered in its own unit in the following chapters . .
