TOEFL

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) measures your English skills by testing reading, writing, listening, and now, in most locations, speaking. The TOEFL test is offered in 180 countries around the globe.

If you’re a non-native English speaker at the 11th-grade or above level, planning to attend college or graduate school in the United States, chances are you need to take the TOEFL. More than 6,000 colleges and universities worldwide require the TOEFL test as part of your application. It is designed to evaluate your mastery of the English language and your ability to be successful in an English-speaking academic environment.

The Internet-based TOEFL has four sections: reading, listening, speaking, and writing :

*Reading: students will read three to five passages and then answer questions that test their ability to analyze and understand the passages.

*Listening: students will listen to two to three conversations and four to six lectures. Questions will test the students’ ability to understand the content of these recordings and interpret the meanings and attitudes of the speakers.

*Speaking: students will complete six tasks, some of which will require them to respond to reading or listening material. Students will be evaluated on topic development, speaking delivery, and use of language.

*Writing: students will complete two tasks, one of which will require them to respond to reading and listening material and one of which will require them to respond to a topic using their personal knowledge and experience. Students will be evaluated based on their understanding of the material, and the organization and development of their writing.
