EXPLAIN BETWEEN TOEFL
AND TOEIC
The TOEFL measures the test-takers ability to
function in an English-speaking academic environment. The target test-taker for
the TOEFL is a candidate for higher education in an English-speaking country.
The TOEIC on the other hand, measures the
ability to function in a general work environment. This test is used in
nonacademic settings as a measure of the ability of a current or potential
employee to communicate effectively in English in a variety of business
settings and situations.
v What’s the difference between
TOEFL and TOEIC ?
According to the Educational Testing Service, the organization that makes
both tests,
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is meant to evaluate the
English ability of those interested in academic study. Japanese students who
plan to study abroad, for example, must usually take this in order to be
accepted by North American colleges and universities.
TOEFL is also used as a placement test, as a test to measure progress
in a language-training program, and as an "exit test" to make sure
that students have reached a certain level of English ability when they finish
a program of language study.
TOEIC is intended to measure English ability in the global workplace.
Companies often use it to make decisions about recruitment, promotion, and
sending employees overseas. TOEIC is also used as a placement test, as a means
of measuring the effectiveness of language-training programs, and as an exit
test for such programs.TOEIC has a prayer of tests That tests reading and
listening with scores range 10-990. While the TOEFL has three kinds choice
tests of which is PBT (Paper Based Test), CBT (Computer Based Test), and IBT
(Internet Based Test). TOEFL score is based test PBT (310-677), cbt (30-300),
and ibt (8-1 ***).
TOEFL, in other words, focuses on how language is used in academic
contexts, while TOEIC focuses on how language used in global business and
commerce.
v Test Formats
The TOEFL is a four-section test that includes sections for reading,
listening, speaking and writing. It is taken exclusively on the computer. The
TOEIC is broken into two separate but complementary exams: the Reading and
Listening Test, which is a paper-and-pencil test, and the Speaking and Writing
Test, which is taken on a computer. The exams are broken up in this way so
potential employers can choose to measure an employee's reading and listening
or speaking and writing skills only, or all four language skills. The Reading
and Listening Test will take about two-and-a-half hours to complete, and for
the Speaking and Writing Test, the speaking section will last about 20 minutes,
and the writing section will take 60 minutes to complete.
v Test Content
In the TOEFL, the
test-taker is measured on his ability to function in an academic environment.
In this regard, the vocabulary on this test is academic in nature and is
similar to the vocabulary used in college text books. The topics of the reading
and listening passages are similarly academic. You may read a passage on bird
migration, for example, or listen to a lecture from an economics course. The
TOEIC, on the other hand, measures the test - takers ability to function in a
business environment. Topics may range from dining out in a restaurant to
presenting in a budget meeting.
v Test Scores
On the TOEFL IBT, the
maximum possible score is 120 -- 30 points for each of the four sections. There
is no "passing score" and colleges and universities will have their
own requirements for admission, which test-takers can find information about
through the admissions office. The TOEIC Reading and Listening test gives the
test-taker a score of 10 to 990, which corresponds to bands in the Common
European Framework measure of English proficiency. A test-taker will receive
scores of zero to 200 for the Speaking and Writing Tests separately, again
which corresponds to the CEF standards of English-language proficiency
measurements.
