TOEFL-iBT
The TOEFL® Internet-based test emphasizes integrated skills and
measures all four language skills, including speaking. The content on
the test is authentic, and the language is consistent with that used in
everyday, real academic settings.
The test has four sections
Reading measures the
ability to understand academic reading matter.
Listening measures the ability to understand English as
it is used in colleges and universities.
Speaking measures the ability to speak English.
Writing measures the ability to write in a way that is
appropriate for college and university course work.
Test content is based on a “corpus,” or database,
of spoken and written language that currently contains more than 2.7
million words, collected from educational institutions throughout the
United States.
The spoken language in the database was collected from
lectures and interactive classes
labs
office hours
study groups
everyday service interactions (for example, at the bookstore or
registrar's office). The written language was collected from sources,
such as textbooks and course materials.
Listening and reading texts in the test conform to the characteristics
of the language in the database.
