and licensing agencies in 110 countries. Every test center is open to
everyone who is properly registered, regardless of race, color, creed,
or national origin (subject to U.S. sanctions programs and
embargoes).

Examinations Board.
Test Content
After September 30, 2006, TOEFL CBT will no longer be offered. The
TOEFL program is phasing in the Internet-based version of the TOEFL
test - TOEFL iBT. In areas where TOEFL iBT is not yet available, the
paper-based version of the TOEFL test will be offered to continue to
provide access for TOEFL test takers in these areas.
Internet-based Test
The TOEFL® Internet-based test emphasizes integrated skills and
measures all four language skills, including speaking. The content on
the test is authentic, and the language is consistent with that used
in everyday, real academic settings.
The test has four sections
Reading measures the ability to understand academic reading matter.
Listening measures the ability to understand English as it is used in
colleges and universities.
Speaking measures the ability to speak English.
Writing measures the ability to write in a way that is appropriate for
college and university course work.
Test content is based on a “corpus,” or database, of spoken and
written language that currently contains more than 2.7 million words,
collected from educational institutions throughout the United States.
The spoken language in the database was collected from
Lectures and Interactive Classes
Labs
Office Hours
Study Groups
Everyday Service Interactions (for example, at the bookstore or
registrar's office)
The written language was collected from sources, such as textbooks and
course materials. Listening and reading texts in the test conform to
the characteristics of the language in the database.
Paper-based Test
The paper-based TOEFL test has three sections plus a 30-minute writing
test (the Test of Written English) that is required of everyone who
takes the paper-based test.
Listening Comprehension measures the ability to understand English as
it is spoken in North America.
