The purpose of TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) test is to measure the ability of nonnative speakers of English to use and understand English as it is spoken, written, and heard in an American college/university.

The TOEFL tests all four language skills that are important for effective communication: reading, listening, speaking and writing. It reflect how language is really used. It helps students demonstrate that they have the English skills needed for academic success.

The TOEFL iBT uses integrated tasks that combine more than one skill, just as in real academic settings. It represents the best practices in language learning and teaching. Learning English used to focus on learning about the language (especially the grammar), and students could receive high scores on test without being able to communicate.
