Features: TOEFL is an English proficiency test for non-native English-speaking students. Currently, approximately 2,400 universities and research institutions in the United States and Canada recognize TOEFL scores as one of the criteria for determining whether international students can be admitted. In Japan, some universities have made courses that train TOEFL preparation skills a compulsory subject, while others have removed other compulsory subjects and replaced them with TOEFL scores, making TOEFL scores an important standard for assessing students' English proficiency. Additionally, many companies use TOEFL scores as a benchmark to measure job applicants' English abilities. This demonstrates that TOEFL, as a specialized test for assessing English proficiency, is gradually gaining worldwide recognition as an authoritative standard.
