THE TOEFL® INSTITUTIONAL
TESTING PROGRAM (TOEFL® ITP)
The TOEFL ITP®
Assessment Series offers colleges and universities, English language learning
programs and other organizations the opportunity to administer the format of
the paper based test with a convenient, affordable and reliable assessment of
English-language skills on their own facilities and staff.
The TOEFL ITP tests
can be used for placement, progress, evaluation, exit testing and other
situations. By using the TOEFL ITP tests in your classroom, you can keep your
students on track and have confidence in their real-world abilities.
At present more than
2,500 schools, colleges, universities, and private agencies worldwide in 50+
countries participate in the TOEFL ITP test. Indonesian International Education
Foundation (IIEF) is the Country Master Distribution of ETS for TOEFL ITP in
Indonesia, and administers ITP to more than 250 institutions in Indonesia. We
invite you to join the ranks of institutions that have benefited from using the
ITP through IIEF's services.
Based on the Power of
the TOEFL® Test
When you use the
TOEFL ITP assessments, you put the power of the TOEFL® test to
work in your classroom. The TOEFL ITP assessments share the same rich heritage
as the TOEFL test — the world's most widely accepted and respected
English-language assessment.
The two tests are
used for separate purposes and administered differently. The TOEFL iBT test is
a high-stakes exam administered by ETS. Institutions use TOEFL test scores to
make high-stakes decisions, such as student admissions. TOEFL ITP tests are administered
by institutions or our ETS preferred network office.
What is
TOEFL-ITP for?
The ITP test is
designed to be a measure of English Language proficiency, not of academic
aptitude. Use of ITP scores to predict academic performance is inappropriate. Each
institution that requires TOEFL scores determines for itself what scores, or
ranges of scores, are acceptable. These requirements vary from institution to
institution.
The TOEFL ITP scores
should NOT be used for college or university admission or other high-stakes
purposes, nor be used in place of the the TOEFL iBT® test. The TOEFL ITP® tests
measure core English skills using 100 percent academic content similar to what
is used in actual classroom tasks. Users of the TOEFL ITP tests are strongly
encouraged to carefully explore the most appropriate use of the tests in their
instructional context. This makes the tests an essential tool for:
- Placement in
intensive English-language programs requiring academic English proficiency
at a college or graduate level.
- Progress
monitoring in
English-language programs stressing academic English proficiency.
- Exiting English-language
programs by demonstrating proficiency in English listening and reading.
- Admissions to
short-term, non-degree programs in English-speaking countries where the
sending and receiving institutions agree to use TOEFL ITP scores.
- Admissions to
undergraduate and graduate degree programs in non-English speaking
countries where
English is not the dominant form of instruction.
- Admissions and
placement in collaborative international degree programs where
English-language training will be a feature of the program.
- Scholarship
programs,
as contributing documentation for academic English proficiency.
Each institution that
requires TOEFL scores determines for itself what scores, or ranges of scores,
are acceptable. These requirements vary from institution to institution.

English
