TOEFL certificate is valid for 2 years. It was introduced for the first time in 1964. Since then, more than 20 million people have submitted it. Also, TOEFL is one of the two main tests that determine the level of English proficiency in the world, the other being IELTS.\u003Cbr>Keywords: TOEFL, foreign language, IELTS, test, reading, speaking, listening, writing, international certificate, English language, Cambridge Assessment English. |\n\nToefl[1] is the Test of English as a Foreign Language, a standardized test to measure the English language proficiency of non-native speakers who wish to enter English-speaking universities. The test is accepted by more than 11,000 universities and other institutions in more than 190 countries and territories. TOEFL is oneof several major English language tests in the world, the others being IELTS, Cambridge Assessment English, and Trinity College London. TOEFL is a trademark of Educational Testing Service (ETS), a private, non-profit organization that designs and administers these tests. . ETS issues official score reports, which are sent independently to institutions and are valid for two years after the test.  \nIn 1966, a national council consisting of representatives of thirty public and private organizations was formed to solve the problem of ensuring English proficiency for non-native speakers who wish to study in US universities. This board recommended the development and administration of the TOEFL test for 1963- 1965. The test was originally developed at the Center for Applied Linguistics under the direction of Dr. Charles A. Ferguson, Professor of Applied Linguistics at Stanford University.  \nThe TOEFL test was first administered in 1964 by the Modern Language Association, funded by grants from the Ford Foundation and the Danforth Foundation. In 1965, the College Board and ETS jointly assumed responsibility for continuing the TOEFL test program. In 1973, ETS , a cooperative agreement was entered into between the College Board and the Board of Advisers on Graduate Proficiency Examinations to oversee and implement the program. ETS was supposed to administer the test under the guidance of the TOEFL board.  \nAs of today, college admissions criteria for international students who are citizens of Commonwealth countries exempt them from the TOEFL test. Countries that are part of the English-speaking world (from most Commonwealth countries to former British colonies such as Hong Kong SAR or former US protectorates (Philippines, Puerto Rico), where English is the de facto official language and automatically exempt from the TOEFL with some restrictions (e.g. residents of Quebec must take the TOEFL, while therest of Canada is exempt - including Commonwealth countries where English is not an official language, such as Mozambique or Namibia ( English is generally official but spoken by 3%).However, this does not apply to some Commonwealth countries outside of England due to the IELTS test, such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc., even though they have English as their de facto official language. test (iBT) measures four academic English skills – reading, listening, speaking and writing. Since its introduction in late 2005, the Internet-based test format has gradually been replaced by computer-based tests (CBT) and paper-based based tests (PBT) have taken over, but paper-based testing is still used in selected areas.
