왜 TOEFL이 세계 영어 시험을 업그레이드하는지
60년 넘게 TOEFL은 전 세계 학술 영어 측정의 기준을 세워왔습니다. 최근 몇 년간 대학과 학생들과의 집중 연구를 통해 시험이 개선될 수 있는 부분이 밝혀졌습니다.
오늘날 학생들은 행정적 부담이 적은 곳에서 시험을 치르고 싶어 합니다. 또한 현대적인 테스트 경험을 기대합니다. 그리고 결과를 보기 위해 일주일 반을 기다리고 싶어 하지 않습니다.
한편, 대학들은 시험이 안전하고 신뢰할 수 있으며 접근성이 좋기를 기대합니다. 또한 신입생들이 교과서를 읽고 강의를 듣는 것 외에도 동료들과 소통할 수 있도록 하고자 합니다.
학생과 기관의 요구를 균형 있게 맞추기 위해, 우리는 시험의 질이나 엄격성을 타협하지 않으면서도 시험을 더 공정하고 학생 친화적으로 만드는 업데이트를 도입하고 있습니다.
이 영상에서 TOEFL의 총괄 매니저인 오마르 치하네는 세계 최고의 영어 시험인 TOEFL iBT의 최근 개선 사항을 개괄합니다.
올해 1월부터 TOEFL iBT는 설계, 내용, 점수 체계를 현대화하면서도 1964년 이후 글로벌 기관들이 신뢰해온 학문적 엄격성과 근거 기반 연구를 유지하고 있습니다.
이 업데이트에는 1점에서 6분 단위의 점수 척도가 도입되어, 현재 영어 능력의 전 세계 표준이 된 유럽 공통 언어 참조 체계(Common European Framework of Reference for Languages)와 보다 직관적으로 일치하는 것이 포함됩니다.
TOEFL은 또한 학생들에게 3일 이내에 점수를 반환하며, 각 학생의 읽기 및 듣기 능력에 맞춰 조정하고, 교실 내 동료와의 소통을 포함한 현대 학업 능력을 평가합니다.
이 소식들을 전 세계와 공유할 수 있어 매우 기쁩니다. 더 알고 싶다면 오마르의 영상을 확인해 보세요!
