What is the purpose of the TOEIC tests?
The TOEIC tests are English language proficiency tests for people whose native language is not English. The tests assess the everyday English skills of people in the global workplace who may communicate in English both with other non-native speakers and those from English-speaking cultures. TOEIC tests use authentic tasks that reflect the kinds of language people actually use in the global marketplace.
The introduction of the TOEIC Speaking & Writing tests supplements the TOEIC Listening & Reading test, allowing direct evaluation of all four English-language skills.
