TOEFL iBT®
The premier test of academic English communication
ETS has two external bodies that connect the TOEFL Program to the fields of international higher education and English language learning, teaching and testing around the world.
The TOEFL Board advises ETS on the policies under which ETS administers the TOEFL test. Created in 1973, the Board's membership consists of up to 16 individuals drawn from across the broad field of international higher education.
