The TOEFL® test
The TOEFL® test (TEST OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE™) is a
reliable and accurate measure of a student’s English skills. An
internationally accepted standard of English proficiency, it is a
required certification by more than 4500 colleges and universities
worldwide. As opposed to the TOEIC® test that measures the use of
English in a business context, the TOEFL® test has an academic focus.
Who uses the TOEFL® test?
- Admissions officers, deans, and similar decision makers
- Directors of scholarship agencies
- Administrators of licensing and certification agencies
- Administrators of government agencies
- Individuals who plan to study in an English-medium college or university
Benefits of the TOEFL® test:
- Widely available and easily accessible
- Regarded as the international standard and industry leader
- The test is administered under secure conditions and is highly
reliable; hence, scores can be used confidently to make high-stake
decisions
The new TOEFL iBT test The
new TOEFL® iBT (Internet Based Testing) is ETS’ next generation TOEFL
test, and incorporates an integrated-skills approach to simulate
real-life academic environments. The TOEFL iBT test: - Measures four skills and combines them in integrated tasks: listening, reading, writing and speaking.
- Focuses on how well you use English, not just what you know about it.
- Uses integrated tasks that are more reflective of what we do with
language in the real world, and results in a better measure of ability
to participate successfully in an academic environment.
Benefits of the new test: - It is administered to candidates via the Internet at official ETS test
centres. With Internet-based testing, ETS can capture speech and score
responses in a secure and standardised manner.
- Online
registration and online score reporting makes it easier for candidates
to register for the test, as well as receive their results.
- Test takers will be able to view scores online 15 business days after
the test, as well as receive a copy of their score report by mail from
ETS.
- Skill scores provide institutions with more flexibility
than ever before to customise their score requirements. Each programme
can decide what score profile is important based on their particular
needs.
