DEFINISI TOEFL

TOEFL merupakan singkatan dari Test Of English as a Foreign Language. Toefl adalah standardisasi kemampuan bahasa inggris seseorang secara tertulis yang meliputi tiga aspek penguasaan: Listening, Writing dan Reading.
TUJUAN TOEFL
Toefl memiliki dua tujuan umum yaitu: Academic dan General.
  1. Tujuan akademik TOEFL adalah untuk tujuan pendidikan, penelitian atau yang berhubungan dengan kegiatan akademis di luar negeri, ataupun di Indonesia. Untuk paska sarjana, biasanya nilai minimal adalah 550 sedangkan untuk S1 adalah 500.
  2. Tujuan umum (general) pada umumnya digunakan dalam bidang pekerjaan, kenaikan pangkat atau tugas kerja. Banyak perusahaan yang memasang standar bahasa inggris karyawannya dengan melihat nilai TOEFL. Umumnya, nilai TOEFL minimal adalah 500 untuk kenaikan pangkat standar.
Awalnya TOEFL hanya diperuntukkan bagi pelajar/mahasiswa di negara-negara yang bahasa utama di negaranya bukan bahasa Inggris, namun ingin melanjutkan studi ke negara-negara yang menggunakan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa resminya, seperti negara-negara di Eropa, Amerika dan Kanada.
Test TOEFL digunakan untuk memastikan pelajar/mahasiswa dari negara yang bahasa kesehariannya bukan bahasa Inggris, tetap dapat mengikuti perkuliahan di negara tujuan yang menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Sehingga pelajar/mahasiswa tersebut diharapkan :
  • Memahami uraian yang diberikan dosen dalam bahasa Inggris (listening skill).
  • Memahami buku-buku textbook yang diwajibkan (reading skill).
  • Mampu membuat tulisan ilmiah dengan tatabahasa yang benar (writing & grammar skill).
