How to Use the TOEFL ITP® Assessment Series

Seven Ways You Can Use the TOEFL ITP Assessment Series in Your Classroom

The TOEFL ITP® tests measure core English-language skills using 100 percent academic content similar to what is used in actual classroom tasks. Proposed uses of the TOEFL ITP tests are:

1. Placement in intensive English-language programs requiring academic English proficiency at a college or graduate level.
2. Progress monitoring in English-language programs stressing academic English proficiency.
3. Exiting English-language programs by demonstrating proficiency in English listening and reading.
4. Admissions to short-term, non-degree programs in English-speaking countries where the sending and receiving institutions agree to use TOEFL ITP scores.
5. Admissions to undergraduate and graduate degree programs in non-English speaking countries where English is not the dominant form of instruction.
6. Admissions and placement in collaborative international degree programswhere English-language training will be a feature of the program.
7. Scholarship programs, as contributing documentation for academic English proficiency.
