The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required for
international students seeking an admission in US universities and
colleges for higher studies. TOEFL measures the ability of
non-native 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 the TOEFL test 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.
