, a division
of Thomson Learning.
The computer-based test has four sections, all of which are
mandatory at each administration.
ᮣ
Listening measures the ability to understand English as it is spo-
ken in North America. This section tests comprehension of main
ideas, supporting ideas, important details, and inferences. You will
both see and hear the questions before the answer choices appear.
ᮣ
Structure measures the ability to recognize language that is appro-
priate for standard written English. The language tested is formal,
rather than conversational. When topics have a national context,
they refer to United States or Canadian history, culture, art, or
literature. However, knowledge of these contexts is not needed
to answer the questions.
ᮣ
Reading measures the ability to understand short passages similar
in topic and style to academic texts used in North American col-
leges and universities. You will read a variety of short passages on
academic subjects and answer several questions about each passage.
ᮣ
Writing measures the ability to write in English on an assigned
topic. You must compose an essay in order to receive a total score.

) is a 30-minute writing test
that is required of everyone taking the paper-based test. You will
write a short essay on one topic printed in your TWE test book to
demonstrate your ability to write in English. This includes the ability
to generate and organize ideas, to support those ideas with examples
or evidence, and to compose in standard written English in response
to an assigned topic. You will not need special knowledge of the
topic. There is no separate fee for the TWE.
You will write your essay on a two-sided answer sheet attached to
your TOEFL answer sheet. When you are told to begin working, read
the instructions and the essay question carefully. You must write only
on the assigned topic. If you write an essay on a different topic, it will
not be scored. You will probably want to spend a few minutes thinking
about the kind of essay you will write, and you may wish to make a
few brief notes. The test administrator will tell you where to make
your notes for the writing test. Plan to take at least 20 minutes to
write your essay after you have read the instructions and made notes.

TSE Test
The TSE test lasts approximately 20 minutes and consists of nine
questions, each of which requires that you perform a particular
speech activity. Examples of these speech activities include narrating,
recommending, persuading, and giving and supporting an opinion.
You will use a test book and audio-recording equipment to com-
plete the test. A recording will lead you through the test. You will
simply respond to the questions and your responses will be recorded.
The time allotted for each of your responses ranges from 30 to 90
seconds. All the recorded questions, as well as the allotted response
time, are printed in the test book. The questions on the test are fairly
general, designed to inform the raters about your English-language
oral communication skills. Your score for the test will be based on
the recorded samples of your speech.
