¿Qué es el examen TOEFL?

El TOEFL, acrónimo de Test of English as a Foreign Language, es uno de los exámenes de inglés más reconocidos a nivel global.

Este examen evalúa la competencia en inglés de personas cuyo idioma nativo no es el inglés.

Es aceptado por más de 11,000 universidades e instituciones educativas en más de 160 países, convirtiéndose en una herramienta clave para estudiar o trabajar en el extranjero.

¿Quién administra el TOEFL?

El TOEFL es gestionado por Educational Testing Services (ETS), la organización sin ánimo de lucro más grande del mundo dedicada a la evaluación educativa.

ETS también ofrece otros exámenes, como:

  • GRE.
  • TOEIC.
  • HiSET.
  • Praxis.

Aunque ETS cuenta con una amplia gama de exámenes, en este curso nos enfocaremos exclusivamente en el TOEFL.

Tanto el TOEFL iBT como el TOEFL PBT miden el dominio de cuatro habilidades esenciales:

  • Habla (Speaking)

Estas habilidades aseguran que quienes toman el examen puedan comunicarse eficazmente en contextos académicos y profesionales.

  • ¿Aplicas a una universidad en el extranjero?
  • ¿Quieres fortalecer tu perfil profesional?
  • ¿Buscas certificar tu nivel de inglés?

Tener clara tu razón para presentar el TOEFL es fundamental para mantenerte motivado durante el proceso de preparación.
