TOEFL E-Newsletter

Dear TOEFL® score user:

This month's e-newsletter is all about expansion and connection. The TOEFL program has seen a lot of growth over the past year and we're pleased to announce that now more than 8,000 institutions globally use TOEFL scores. For TOEFL test takers, this means more options to help realize their study abroad dreams.

We're also excited to provide new resources for students, including a one-stop brochure to TOEFL test resources and a new Facebook page for students in India.

In our continued commitment to supporting you, we'll also tell you more about the TOEFL® ITP Assessment Series, TOEFL iBT® Online Speech Sample Service and the next volume of our TOEFL iBT® Research Insight Series.

We hope you find this useful and welcome your feedback.

Sincerely,
Eileen Tyson
Executive Director of Global Client Relations, ETS
