In the ever-evolving landscape of global education and employment, proficiency in the English language remains a paramount skill. As international communication continues to flourish across borders, the demand for standardised assessments of English proficiency persists. In response to this need, Educational Testing Service (ETS), the organisation behind the widely recognized TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) exam, has introduced a groundbreaking addition to its portfolio: The TOEFL Essentials Test.
This new test, designed to assess English language skills for academic and everyday use, marks a significant evolution in language assessment. While the traditional TOEFL tests (TOEFL iBT and TOEFL ITP) have served as stalwarts in evaluating English proficiency for academic purposes, the TOEFL Essentials Test expands ETS's offerings to cater to a broader audience.
