New TOEFL from September 2005

The Internet-based TOEFL Test
The TOEFL Internet-based Test (TOEFL iBT) tests all four language skills that are important for effective communication: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The test helps students demonstrate that they have the English skills needed for success.

What Is the Benefit of An Internet-based Test?
TOEFL iBT emphasizes integrated skills and provides better information to institutions about students' ability to communicate in an academic setting and their readiness for academic coursework. With Internet-based testing, ETS can capture speech and score responses in a standardized manner.

Online registration and online score reporting make it easier for students to register for TOEFL iBT and receive their test scores.

There will be four sections: Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Examinees will be allowed to take notes and use the notes to answer test questions.

The Computer-Based TOEFL will be discontinued when the Next Generation TOEFL is introduced. Although a Paper-Based TOEFL will still be offered at test centers where an Internet-Based test is not practical, the Next Generation version of the Paper-Based TOEFL will include all four sections-Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking.                       

When Will TOEFL iBT Be Available?
The official new TOEFL will be offered starting September 2005 at secure ETS test centers worldwide. ETS is introducing the new test in phases.

iBT Worldwide Schedule
A complete schedule for worldwide sites will be available on this Web site by October 1, 2005. Check back after that date to find out when iBT testing is available in your area. The schedule will be announced through this Web site, at advising offices, and in ETS publications.
The current computer- and paper-based (CBT, PBT) versions of the TOEFL test will be given until the Internet-based version is implemented in a particular location

ETS will begin offering full-length practice versions of the test along with related learning tools on their website, www.toefl.org . The practice test scores will be reported only to the test taker.

The Education Testing Board (ETB) has overhauled the standard 40-year old Test in response to complaints that despite high TOEFL scores, many foreign students were unable to communicate effectively once they join American schools and universities.

When the new version is introduced, test takers and English language instructors will see a whole new approach to TOEFL. It's more than just a test. Test takers will get diagnostic information on their strengths and weaknesses and guidance on improving their scores. The Test will offer learning tools to help people improve English language proficiency.

This next generation TOEFL test is to evaluate the English speaking proficiency of students whose native language is not English and who intend to pursue studies in a college or university where English is spoken.

Those taking the test have to reply orally to questions provided in oral and written format. These oral answers are recorded on tape. Hence, writing is not required. The test fee is $ 140.
