The Language Centre of the University of Valencia has obtained the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) accreditation, becoming the only examination centre in the province of Valencia for this international test. This English certificate, which is issued by a U.S. educational institution, is recognized by 130 countries and is required both for admission to U.S. universities and for employment in many American companies.
Basically, the TOEFL is a standardized test that assesses the English communication skills of non-native speakers in both business and academic contexts. It focuses on basic skills such as reading, writing, listening and speaking. The TOEFL is widely used by educational institutions and employers to measure the English proficiency of non-native speakers. This test helps determine whether an individual is prepared to study or work in an environment where English is the primary language.
According to Pedro Morillo, director of the Language Centre of the University of Valencia, We are more than satisfied with the addition of the TOEFL in our official English certification offerings. This certification will meet the demands of students and staff of the Faculty of Economics, as well as those of many professionals who want to pursue their careers in the USA and Canada".
The TOEFL is a multilevel test that evaluates a person's language proficiency in general. This kind of certification is in high demand among undergraduate or graduate students planning to study in the United States or Canada and those seeking employment in these countries.
