The Differences between TOEFL and TOEIC




According to the Educational Testing Service, the organization that makes both tests, TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is meant to evaluate the English ability of those interested in academic study. Japanese students who plan to study abroad, for example, must usually take this in order to be accepted by North American colleges and universities. TOEFL is also used as a placement test, as a test to measure progress in a language-training program, and as an "exit test" to make sure that students have reached a certain level of English ability when they finish a program of language study.
TOEIC is intended to measure English ability in the global workplace. Companies often use it to make decisions about recruitment, promotion, and sending employees overseas. TOEIC is also used as a placement test, as a means of measuring the effectiveness of language-training programs, and as an exit test for such programs.

TOEFL, in other words, focuses on how language is used in academic contexts, while TOEIC focuses on how language used in global business and commerce.
