Differences Between TOEFL TOEIC

The TOEFL measures the test-taker's ability to function in an English-speaking academic environment. The target test-taker for the TOEFL is a candidate for higher education in an English-speaking country. The TOEIC, on the other hand, measures the ability to function in a general work environment. This test is used in nonacademic settings as a measure of the ability of a current or potential employee to communicate effectively in English in a variety of business settings and situations.



The hearsay evidence of Ms Collings and Mr Millington, the two main witnesses relied on by the Secretary of State was inherently limited in that neither of these witnesses possessed any relevant qualifications, credentials or expertise in what is ultimately a scientific field - namely, voice recognition technology and techniques;
There was no evidence from ETS;
The evidence from expert Dr. Harrison was persuasive and remained unchallenged by the Secretary of State;
The Appellant’s themselves were found to be truthful.

2. Start Thinking Outside the Sox
Yeah, you read that right. If you're like me, the phrase "Outside the box" has run its course, but outside the sox means thinking quickly on your feet. This doesn't mean making rash decisions, but it does mean mastering some critical thinking skills. To do that: Don't automatically follow convention. Look at problem areas from their roots (ask, "Where did the problem originate") and attack the problem not the people connected with the problem.Don't answer the questions, question the answers.

Test Formats
The TOEFL is a four-section test that includes sections for reading, listening, speaking and writing. It is taken exclusively on the computer. The TOEIC is broken into two separate but complementary exams: the Reading and Listening Test, which is a paper-and-pencil test, and the Speaking and Writing Test, which is taken on a computer. The exams are broken up in this way so potential employers can choose to measure an employee's reading and listening or speaking and writing skills only, or all four language skills. The Reading and Listening Test will take about two-and-a-half hours to complete, and for the Speaking and Writing Test, the speaking section will last about 20 minutes, and the writing section will take 60 minutes to complete.

Test Scores
On the TOEFL iBT, the maximum possible score is 120 -- 30 points for each of the four sections. There is no "passing score" and colleges and universities will have their own requirements for admission, which test-takers can find information about through the admissions office. The TOEIC Reading and Listening test gives the test-taker a score of 10 to 990, which corresponds to bands in the Common European Framework measure of English proficiency. A test-taker will receive scores of zero to 200 for the Speaking and Writing Tests separately, again which corresponds to the CEF standards of English-language proficiency measurements.

You could also watch this old Tex Avery cartoon called "Symphony in Slang," in which a cartoon character tells the story of his life — but using only idioms, which are literally put into animated images. So when the character says he put his foot in his mouth, you see him literally (actually) put his foot into his mouth. But you also understand from the animation what the expression truly means (in this case, that the character had said something wrong, silly or embarrassing).

Test Content
In the TOEFL, the test-taker is measured on his ability to function in an academic environment. In this regard, the vocabulary on this test is academic in nature and is similar to the vocabulary used in college text books. The topics of the reading and listening passages are similarly academic. You may read a passage on bird migration, for example, or listen to a lecture from an economics course. The TOEIC, on the other hand, measures the test-taker's ability to function in a business environment. Topics may range from dining out in a restaurant to presenting in a budget meeting.

NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The rate of child marriages in Bangladesh could drop by a third when girls are educated and taught job skills, according to a study released on Wednesday on ways to counter the practice rampant in the South Asian nation.
Two out of three girls in South Asia marry before age 18, according to the Population Council, a nonprofit group that researches health and development issues.

In a study of more than 9,000 Bangladeshi girls, however, the child marriage rate dropped 31 percent when girls received educational tutoring or took classes in critical thinking and decision-making, it said.
The rate dropped by 23 percent when girls were given job skills training, it found.
"In Bangladesh, limited evidence exists on what works to delay child marriage," said Ann Blanc, vice president of the Population Council, in a statement. "These results are a major leap forward."
