The Test of English as a Foreign Language™ (TOEFL) measures the ability of nonnative speakers to use and understand English. Most people take the TOEFL test as a requirement for admission into colleges and universities where instruction is in English. In addition, many government agencies, scholarship programs, and licensing/certification agencies use TOEFL scores to evaluate English proficiency. Currently more than 4,400 two- and four-year colleges and universities, professional schools, and sponsoring institutions require TOEFL scores. The TOEFL test measures English language proficiency in reading, listening, and writing and is offered on computer in most regions of the world. In areas where access to computer-based testing is limited, a paper-and-pencil version of the test is administered. Next Generation TOEFL (excerpt from the official toefl website) Coming in September 2005! A new TOEFL test that assesses all four basic language skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. To succeed in an academic environment in which English is the language of instruction, international students need to not only understand English, but also to communicate effectively. ETS has developed a new TOEFL test that will help individuals demonstrate the English skills needed for academic success. This next generation TOEFL test will also help institutions make better decisions about prospective students' academic readiness for academic coursework. Because the next generation TOEFL test includes a Speaking section, institutions and agencies will no longer need to include the TSE test as a separate requirement. Until September 2005, test takers will take the current TOEFL and TSE tests. |
