【1週間限定見逃し配信】2月11日オンラインセミナー「新形式TOEFLについて」

Key Takeaways

• The TOEFL iBT underwent a comprehensive renewal in 2026, fundamentally redesigning the test structure, scoring methods, and content across all four language skills to improve fairness and efficiency.
• Adaptive testing is now implemented in the Reading and Listening sections, where performance in the first module determines the difficulty level of the subsequent module to better assess individual ability.
• Test results are now available within three days, a significant improvement over the previous two-week waiting period, providing students with more flexibility for urgent application deadlines.
• The test content has shifted toward more relatable, everyday academic and campus-based scenarios, moving away from exclusively highly specialized academic topics to ensure a more equitable testing experience.
• The Writing section has been overhauled, replacing the traditional integrated task with new requirements, including sentence rearrangement and email composition, while the Speaking section now includes a repetition task.
• Scoring is now aligned with the CEFR framework, providing a six-level scale that simplifies the interpretation of results while maintaining the traditional 120-point total score.
• In-person testing at a physical center is recommended over the Home Edition, as the latter involves rigorous, time-consuming security checks and potential risks regarding technical support during system errors.
