ETS TOEFL® Online Competition Launched in China
Beijing, China (September 19, 2008) – Educational Testing Service (ETS), creator of the TOEFL® test – the test of choice for the top 100 universities in the world– announced that the TOEFL “Go anywhere from here” online competition will be held in mainland China from September 20 – November 20, 2008.
The two-month nationwide online competition, the second to be offered by ETS in China, seeks to help Chinese students prepare for a successful overseas academic experience by enriching their knowledge of the English skills important for overseas study. The competition also will help to increase Chinese test takers’ understanding of how TOEFL is used by colleges and universities worldwide, providing them the opportunity to experience real TOEFL test questions.
The competition is open to all students across China (not limited to TOEFL test takers) and offers exciting opportunities to win free laptops, iPod Nano, TOEFL test seats and TOEFL Practice Online (TPO) vouchers as well as copies of the ETS Official Guide to the TOEFL iBT. www.taisha.org is the exclusive online provider of the TOEFL Online Competition. Participants can visit the competition webpage: http://www.taisha.org/test/ets/www/index.html to participate in the competition.
As one of the most recognized academic English exams in the world, the TOEFL iBT is accepted by more than 6,000 colleges and universities in more than 134 countries and regions. The online competition is also designed to provide test takers with an interactive communication platform to share TOEFL experiences with other participants, and learn directly about the TOEFL and overseas study from professors and experts from top universities.
Backed by ten years of research, development and testing, TOEFL iBT redefines the way English is learned and measured. It simulates actual university situations, and helps test takers experience a realistic academic English communication environment in all testing sections including reading, listening, speaking and writing. TOEFL iBT helps test takers to demonstrate that they have English-language skills necessary for successful overseas study. The TOEFL online competition provides participants with real TOEFL reading comprehension questions to help them gain first-hand TOEFL experience and acquire communicative skills in real academic situations.
