What is TOEFL?

TOEFL measures a candidate’s ability to use and understand English in an academic environment. Unlike general English tests, TOEFL focuses on skills required in university classrooms such as listening to lectures, participating in discussions, reading academic texts, and writing structured responses.

The TOEFL iBT (Internet-Based Test) evaluates four core language skills:

• Reading
• Listening
• Speaking
• Writing

The test is completely computer-based and reflects real university-level situations.
