ALL ABOUT THE TOEFL IBT TEST

The TOEFL iBT test consists of four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. The entire test is about 4 hours long, and all sections are taken on the same day.

KEY FEATURES

  • The TOEFL iBT test measures all four language skills that are important for effective communication: speaking, listening, reading, and writing, emphasizing the test taker’s ability to use English effectively in academic setting.
  • It reflects how language is really used with integrated tasks that combine more than one skill. Just as in real academic settings. The integrated questions ask test takers to:
    • read, listen, and then speak in response to a question
    • listen and then speak in response to a question
    • read, listen, and then write in response to a question
  • It represents the best practices in language learning and teaching. In the past, English instruction focused on learning about the language (especially grammar), and students could receive high scores on tests without being able to communicate. Now teachers and learners understand the importance of using English to communicate, and activities that integrate language skills are popular in many English language programs.
