TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is an international exam in English as a foreign language.
Submitting the results of this exam is a compulsory requirement to apply for more than 2,400 colleges and universities in the United States, Canada and some other countries.
A TOEFL certificate is required of anyone who is considering an internship in English or applying for a job needing knowledge of the language.
There are tests for children and adults, which show their proficiency level of English in its different aspects.
TOEFL Primary (Step1 and Step2) is recommended for children aged 8. Step 1 measures pre A1 to A2 levels (Cambridge Flyers) and is designed for children at the beginning stages of learning English. Step 2 measures levels A1 to B1 (Cambridge PET). Unlike in Cambridge exams, in TOEFL Primary there is no age restriction, so children aged 13-14 can take it.
TOEFL Junior is recommended for children aged 11 and above and measures levels A2 to B2 (Cambridge KET, PET, FCE).
Both these exams are called TOEFL YSS (Young Students Series). They include two parts: Speaking, an online exam, is separate from Listening and Reading, a written exam. Your answer is recorded and graded by three examiners, who are in America and don’t see each other.
TOEFL ITP (Institutional Testing Program) is an academic written test without Writing and Speaking. It is used for student internship, to apply for universities around the world or preparatory courses to universities in America and Canada, where the results of this test are accepted as an entrance exam, and Speaking, if necessary, can be taken at the university.
TOEIC is the most popular exam in the world today. It is taken by more than 7 million people every year. Almost all global corporations (Toyota, Starbucks, Hilton, etc.) require their employees to take the exam. There are Institutional and Public sessions. The first one can be carried out anywhere and on any date (for example, for an educational institution or corporation). If you take this exam online, you know the results during the day. Its results are provided to the participant in the form of a Score report by the organization that ordered the testing.
