The TOEFL test (Test of English as a Foreign Language) measures English language proficiency in reading, listening and writing. The test is offered on computer in most regions of the world.

In areas where access to computer-based testing is limited, a paper-and-pencil version of the test is administered.

The TWE test (Test of Written English) is also required for everyone taking the paper-based test. Test takers are given 30 minutes to write a short essay on an assigned topic. The essay is evaluated on the test taker's ability to organize and support ideas, and to use standard written English. Special knowledge of the topic is not needed to write the essay.
