About TOEFL
Accepted by more than 9,000 colleges, universities, agencies, and other institutions in more than 130 countries around the world, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is one of the two major English-language tests in the world. The TOEFL is administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS), the largest educational testing company in the world.
The Function Of The TOEFL®
The TOEFL was initially developed to measure the English language proficiency of non-native English language speakers who wish to study at universities in the US. Today, it is accepted by many colleges and universities all over the world as a measure of English language proficiency.
Since 2005, the TOEFL Internet-based Test (iBT) has gradually replaced the computer-based tests (CBT) and the paper-based tests (PBT). The CBT was discontinued in September 2006. However, the PBTs are still used in certain areas.
