ditujukan bagi orang yang tidak menggunakan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa ibu.
Umumnya, test ini digunakan sebagai salah satu prasyarat bagi seseorang yang
ingin melanjutkan studi atau bekerja di suatu negara yang menggunakan Bahasa
Inggris dalam komunikas sehari-hari. Selain TOEFL, masih ada beberapa jenis
test lain yang hampir sama, yaitu IELTS, TOEIC dan ESOL. TOEFL dikembangkan dan
dikeluarkan oleh ETS (Educational Testing Service) yang berpusat di New Jersey,
USA. Test ini pertama kali diperkenalkan pada tahun 1963.
Saat ini ada
3 macam test TOEFL yang dikeluarkan oleh ETS, yaitu PBT (Paper Based Test)
TOEFL, CBT (Computer Based Test) TOEFL dan iBT (internet Based Test) TOEFL.
Dari tiga tipe ini, yang sering digunakan adalah PBT dan iBT.
d.
PBT TOEFL
PBT merupakan bentuk TOEFL Test yang menggunakan lembar jawaban
berupa kertas. Ini merupakan sistem test pertama yang dikeluarkan oleh ETS.
Dalam PBT, test yang dilakukan meliputi listening, structure dan reading.
Rentangan skor yang diberikan adalah 310-677. Selain itu, waktu yang diberikan
untuk mengerjakan test ini sekitar 2-2,5 jam. Tapi, sejak bulan April 2006,
test ini sudah tidak digunakan lagi di Indonesia. Saat ini, test ini masih
digunakan di negara yang belum memiliki sistem test iBT.

Sistem test ini mulai dipublikasikan dan digunakan pada tahun 2005, tapi baru digunakan di Indonesia pada tahun 2006. Kemampuan yang diujikan meliputi reading, listening, writing dan speaking.

Walau sistem ini banyak digunakan, tapi masih ada beberapa negara yang menggunakan sistem PBT.
Pada awalnya, TOEFL memang digunakan untuk mereka yang ingin
melanjutkan studi, mengajukan beasiswa atau bekerja di negara lain yang
menggunakan Bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa komunikasi sehari-hari. Seiring
perkembangan jaman, test ini semakin berkembang dan menjadi salah satu
prasyarat penting dalam dunia pendidikan dan bisnis. Di Indonesia, test ini
mulai digunakan oleh beberapa universitas terkemuka sebagai salah satu syarat
masuk serta syarat untuk bisa menjalani ujian skripsi, desertasi atau tesis.
Beberapa perusahaan juga menjadikan TOEFL test sebagai prasyarat untuk melamar
pekerjaan. Bahkan, test ini juga digunakan untuk mendapatkan promosi kenaikan
jabatan dalam pekerjaan.
Untuk menjalani test TOEFL, sejauh ini telah ada beberapa situs
resmi yang tersedia di Indonesia. Namun, hasil test ini tidak berlaku
selamanya. Pada umumnya, hasil test hanya berlaku sampai satu atau dua tahun
dan seseorang bisa mengikuti test hingga berkali-kali. Umumnya, biaya test sekitar
$150 – $250. Biaya test pada umumnya berbeda di masing-masing negara. Karena
harga yang cukup mahal, saat ini ada banyak perguruan tinggi atau lembaga
bahasa yang menyediakan pelatihan TOEFL test serta pre-test sehingga seseorang
bisa mempersiapkan diri sebelum menjalani test yang sebenarnya.
Tujuan
Test TOEFL
TOEFL memiliki dua tujuan umum yaitu: Academic dan
General.Tujuan akademik TOEFL
adalah untuk tujuan pendidikan, penelitian atau yang berhubungan dengan
kegiatan akademis di luar negeri, ataupun di Indonesia. Untuk paska sarjana,
biasanya nilai minimal adalah 550 sedangkan untuk S1 adalah 500.
Tujuan
umum (general) pada umumnya digunakan dalam bidang pekerjaan, kenaikan pangkat
atau tugas kerja. Banyak perusahaan yang memasang standar bahasa inggris
karyawannya dengan melihat nilai TOEFL. Umumnya, nilai TOEFL minimal adalah 500
untuk kenaikan pangkat standar.
TOEFL adalah singkatan dari Test Of English as a Foreign Language (Test Bahasa Inggris
sebagai bahasa asing), yang diorganisir oleh sebuah lembaga di Amerika Serikat
yang bernama ETS (Educational Testing Service).
Pada awalnya, TOEFL diperlukan bagi para pelajar di negara-negara yang bahasa utamanya bukan bahasa Inggris, tetapi ingin melanjutkan studi ke negara-negara yang bahasa resminya adalah bahasa Inggris, seperti Amerika Serikat, Kanada, dan negara-negara Eropa Barat.
Ini diperlukan untuk memastikan bahwa siswa-siswa dari negara berbahasa non-bahasa Inggris tersebut dapat mengikuti perkuliahan di negara berbahasa Inggris dengan baik. Antara lain untuk :

bahasa inggris. Toefl mencakup empat
aspek yaitu (1) Listening Comprehension, (2) Structure and Written
Expression, (3) Reading Comprehension, dan yang terakhir yaitu (4) Test of
Written English (TWE).
Dalam Toefl
ada 3 macam tes yaitu International Toefl Test, Institutional Toefl
