Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)

A standardized test of English proficiency for non-native speakers, developed and administered by Educational Testing Service since 1964, primarily used by universities in the United States and Canada, though accepted more broadly, to evaluate applicants' readiness for English-medium academic study. The dominant modern version, TOEFL iBT, is delivered over the internet and tests reading, listening, speaking and writing skill in an academic context, distinguishing it from IELTS's broader General Training track aimed partly at immigration and workplace use.
