TOEFL iBT Integrated Speaking Structure
In a TOEFL integrated speaking task which includes a reading and a listening passage, it is essential that you can do four things.
1) Show that you understand the main idea of the reading passage.
2) Show that you understand the main idea of the listening passage.
3) Show that you understand the relationship between the two passages (I call this the point of integration).
4) Do all three of the points above in an organized, fluent one-minute speech.


Tip 1: It is a good idea to try to structure your speech the same way you would structure an essay. On this page we'll show you two possible styles you can use.


The basic structure of a integrated speaking task could look like this -

Introduction
In this set of materials the reading passage  __(main idea of reading passage)_____ and the listening passage (main idea of listening passage + point of integration)___
Section describing Reading passage
The reading passage __(main idea of reading passage restated)___ .
Main point 1 & Supporting details or implications
Main point 2 & Supporting details or implications
(The number of main points will depend on the information in the passage. Also, how many supporting details you can include depends on time and importance of the details. You DO NOT have to include all supporting details. Sometimes you may not need to include any)
Section describing Listening passage
The listening passage __(main idea of listening passage restated)___ .
Main point 1 & Supporting details or implications
Main point 2 & Supporting details or implications
(How many supporting details you can include depends on time and importance of the details. You DO NOT have to include all supporting details.)
Concluding statement 
You may not have enough time for a concluding statement, and it isn't necessary if you clearly stated the 'point of integration' .


Here is an example speech using the structure above using
Introductory paragraph

In this set of materials the reading passage presents an older view of brochs, and the listening passage introduces a more recent theory about these buildings.

Section describing Reading passage
The reading passage tells us that brochs were sophisticated Iron-Age structures unique to Scotland. It was thought that they were constructed by people fleeing the Roman invasion, and that they were built either as a wartime defensive shelter or as an indication of the power of a great family.
Section describing Listening passage

In the listening passage, however, we are told that this view has changed. Because some were built before the Roman era, it is now thought they were built by local people. Also, the fact that the brochs were built close together and at a time of low population, suggests they were not built for defence or prestige. Historians now believe they were built for a variety of reasons, not for one single purpose.

Concluding statement
There is no need for a concluding statement

Important Points
1) The  amount of information you can get into your speech depends on your fluency, but you must get the main points in.
2) As with integrated writing, letting the listener know that you completely understand the point of integration is crucial and it must be stated clearly.
