INTRODUCTION

The Next Generation TOEFL® Test

‘The Test of English as a Foreign Language" (TOEFL*) is a standardized test that measures the English

proficiency of students who wish to enter college and university programs in the United States and Canada

‘The TOEFL is produced and administered by Educational Testing Service, a professional test development

organization in Princeton, New Jersey, USA

‘The Next Generation TOEFL* Test is the Internet-based test introduced worldwide in September 2005

This new version of the test replaces the earlier computer-based TOEFL Test (CBT) The new test has four

sections covering the language skills of reading, listening, speaking, and writing The test is approximately

3% hours long, with one 10-minute break after the Listening section

NEXT GENERATION TOEFL® TEST

Section Content eae “em

Reading 3 passages 36-42 60 minutes

Writing aera 2 60 minutes

In the Reading section, students read three passages and answer questions about them In the Listening

section, students listen to two conversations and four lectures and answer questions about them, In the

Speaking section, students speak in response to two questions about their own experience and four questions

about texts that they listen to or read during the test In the Writing section, students write in response to

two questions One question is about a reading passage and a lecture, and the other question is about a

general topic

‘The most important differences between the new TOEFL test and previous versions of the test are:

+ Note taking is allowed throughout the test

+ Speaking skills are evaluated

2+ Some questions involve integrated skills, such as reading-listening~speaking

+ Knowledge of grammar is not tested separately but is tested indirectly in all sections of the test

The content of the new TOEFL test reflects the language that is used in real academic settings The content

is based on a collection of spoken and written language that Educational Testing Service obtained from

educational institutions throughout the United States The spoken language came from lectures, class

discussions, office hours, study groups, and service interactions such as conversations at the library The

written language was collected from textbooks and other course materials

DeLrA'S Key 10 THE Next GENERATION TOEFL® Test 1

INTRODUCTION

The Speaking and Writing sections of the test include some tasks that integrate, or combine, language skills For example, a student might read a passage, listen to a lecture, and then write or speak in response The integrated-skills tasks reflect how people use language in real life; thus, they give academic programs a more realistic measure of how well prospective students will be able to communicate in an English— speaking environment

For the most current information about the TOEFL test, including information on test dates and how to register to take the test, visit the official TOEFL Web site at: www.ets.org/toefl

SCORING ON THE New TEST

TOEFL scores help the admissions staff of colleges and universities to determine if a student’s English skills are adequate for enrollment in a specific program of study There is no single passing score; rather, institutions set their own standards for admission

The TOEFL score report will show:

+ a separate score of 0 to 30 for each of the four language skills;

+ a total test score of 0 to 120; and

+ a TOEFL CBT score comparison

In the Reading section, most correct answers will earn 1 raw point each, but some questions are worth 2, 3,

or 4 points In the Listening section, most correct answers will earn I raw point, but some questions are worth 2 points In the Speaking section, each of the six responses will earn a raw score of I to 4 points In the Writing section, the two responses will each earn a raw score of | to 5 points In each section of the test, the total number of raw points earned will be converted to a scaled section score of 0 to 30

Total Test Score 120

‘The four section scores will be combined to obtain the total test score, which is on a scale of 0 to 120 The

score report will also show a comparison between the total score and a score on the previous version of the test, the TOEFL CBT For example, a total score of 100 on the Next Generation TOEFL test is equivalent to

a score of 250 on the TOEFL CBT
