TOEFL: American English
Test of English as a Foreign Language. The TOEFL is required
to assess the English proficiency of people who speak English
as a non-native language. It is a required exam for those students
wishing to begin undergraduate or graduate study in an school
in the US . The TOEFL is a computer exam which is given year
round. There are 4 sections: listening comprehension, structure(speaking),
reading comprehension and writing.
Questions refer to the content and intent of the phrases,
as well as to the speakers' attitude and meaning, either in
short conversations or in lectures.
New to the iBT, this section contains questions relating
to personal experiences or preferences, as well as tasks that
also involve reading passages and listening to short conversations
and lectures. Test takers are expected to convey information,
explain ideas and defend opinions clearly, coherently and accurately.
After each academic reading passage (out of 3-5), questions
are posed about content, intent of the author, and ideas inferred
from the passage. New types of questions in the iBT require
paraphrasing, filling out tables or completing summaries. Generally
prior knowledge of the subject under discussion is not necessary
to come to the correct answer, though a priori knowledge
may help.
One task requires test takers to defend a position relative to
a specified general topic. In the other task, a reading passage
and a lecture are presented, and test takers must answer a question
relating the main points of both the passage and the lecture.
