OEIC (Test of English for International Communication)

Details of the Examination:
The TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) is a standardized test designed to assess an individual’s ability to communicate in English in everyday situations, both in the workplace and in daily life. It measures the proficiency of English users ranging from beginner level to near-native fluency.

The test was first developed in 1979 by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), a non-profit organization based in the United States, recognized worldwide for its expertise in developing internationally standardized assessments. ETS is also responsible for creating other globally recognized tests such as TOEFL, GRE, and SAT.

The TOEIC test evaluates all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. TOEIC scores can be aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) — an international standard used to describe language proficiency levels, ranging from beginner to proficient users. The CEFR is widely accepted by educational institutions and organizations around the world, including in Thailand.

TOEFL ITP

📝 What is TOEFL ITP ?

The TOEFL ITP (Institutional Testing Program) is a paper-based English proficiency test developed by ETS (Educational Testing Service). Unlike the regular TOEFL iBT (Internet-based Test), the TOEFL ITP is usually administered by universities, colleges, or organizations for internal purposes rather than for international admissions.

Here’s a breakdown:

✅ Key Features:

  • Format: Paper-based multiple choice.

  • Skills Measured:

    1. Listening Comprehension (understanding spoken English in academic settings)

    2. Structure and Written Expression (grammar and usage)

    3. Reading Comprehension (understanding academic texts)

  • Scoring: Each section is scored 31–68 (for Listening and Reading) or 31–68 (for Structure), with a total score range 310–677.

    • Level 1: Intermediate to Advanced (used for most university contexts).

    • Level 2: Beginning to Intermediate (simpler version).

  • Progress evaluation in academic courses.

  • Graduation requirements in some institutions.

  • Scholarship or exchange program qualification (in some cases).

⚠️ Limitation:

TOEFL ITP is not accepted for international university admissions the way TOEFL iBT or IELTS are. It’s intended for institutional/diagnostic use rather than official immigration or study-abroad applications.

TOEFL ITP (Institutional Testing Program)
Test Details: The TOEFL ITP is a standardized test designed to assess listening, grammar, and academic reading skills.

  2. Admission and placement in international degree programs conducted in English, where graduate training is provided in English.

  3. Admission to short-term non-degree programs in English-speaking countries, where the sending and receiving institutions agree to use TOEFL ITP scores.
