primarily assess understanding of academic language Test results can be used to make placement decisions, to monitor progress, and to inform end-of-course decisions For more details about the uses of the test: http://www.ets.org/toefl_itp/use/ The TOEFL ITP test is administered in both digital and paper formats The test includes multiple-choice questions, each with four answer choices The test consists of three sections: Listening Comprehension, Structure and Written Expression, and Reading Comprehension •• The Listening Comprehension section measures the ability to understand spoken English in academic settings Test takers listen to recorded audio materials and answer questions about what they heard The recordings include language features that are typical of oral delivery The questions ask about the main ideas and important details, and both explicit and implicit information •• The Structure and Written Expression section measures recognition of correct and incorrect sentence structure in standard written English In the Structure part, test takers read a sentence and choose the correct answer choice to produce a grammatically correct sentence In the Written Expression part, they select the underlined word or phrase that is grammatically incorrect The sentences are on general academic topics •• The Reading Comprehension section measures the ability to understand academic reading passages written in English The topics and complexity of the passages are similar to what is typical of academic textbooks Test takers read a variety of passages on academic subjects and answer questions about each passage The questions ask about information that is stated or implied in the passage, and about the meaning of specific words used in the passage The TOEFL ITP® Test (continued) The testing time is approximately two hours Additional time is needed for test takers to be admitted to the testing room, to enter their identification information on their answer sheets, and for distribution and collection of the test materials A team of language and assessment specialists develop the materials for the TOEFL I T P test Test specifications, test questions, and test forms are rigorously reviewed, following the E T S Standards for Fairness and Quality Test questions are carefully checked to ensure that the content is appropriate, according to established E T S procedures The TOEFL I T P test does not measure content knowledge, but rather, the questions can be answered based on the materials presented The focus is on the test taker’s English-language proficiency—the overall ability to use English This proficiency increases gradually over time, and is generally achieved through a combination of practice and study Additional information about the TOEFL I T P test can be found at https://www.ets.org/toefl_itp TOEFL ITP® Test Data for 2021 The tables below contain data from TOEFL I T P (Level 1) administrations in 2021, and

performance on the TOEFL I T P test of a particular student with that of other students from the same native country and with that of students who speak the same language E T S, the creator of the TOEFL I T P test, does not endorse the practice of ranking countries on the basis of TOEFL I T P scores, as this is a misuse of the data The TOEFL I T P test provides accurate scores at the individual level; it is not appropriate for comparing countries Numerous factors contribute to these scores: the different numbers of students taking the test in each country, the age that English is introduced into the curriculum, and the number of hours per week of English classes Moreover, the TOEFL I T P test takers not represent all English learners in a country; therefore, generalizing about a country
