What Is TOEFL? The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) measures the ability of nonnative speakers of English to use and understand North American English as it is spoken, written and heard in college and university settings. Most people who take TOEFL are planning to study at 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 accept 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. Who Should Take the TOEFL Test The TOEFL test is recommended for students at the eleventh-grade level or above; the test content is considered too difficult for younger students. Many institutions report that they frequently do not require TOEFL test scores of certain kinds of international applicants. These include: * Nonnative speakers who hold degrees or diplomas from post secondary institutions in English-speaking countries (e.g., the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand) and who have successfully completed at least a two-year course of study in which English was the language of instruction. * Transfer students from institutions in the United States or Canada whose academic course work was favorably evaluated in relation to its demands and duration. * Nonnative speakers who have taken the TOEFL test within the past two years and who have successfully pursued academic work at schools where English was the language of instruction in an English-speaking country for a specified period, generally two years. The computer-based TOEFL test is offered at institutional sites such as colleges and universities, and at testing centers operated by Prometric, a division of Thomson Learning. The computer-based TOEFL test has four sections: * Listening measures the ability to understand English as it is spoken in North America. * Structure measures the ability to recognize language that is appropriate for standard written English. * Reading measures the ability to understand short passages that are similar in topic and style to academic texts used in North American colleges and universities. * Writing measures the ability to write in English on an assigned topic.
