• The education and / or social context
The TOEIC test has been used in large business organizations worldwide and relied on the TOEIC test to evaluate English proficiency based on a test taker’s listening and reading skills. Corporations and government agencies rely on the TOEIC test as an objective way to measure English proficiency for recruiting and promoting employees. Colleges, universities, and English-language programs use the TOEIC test to assess their incoming students’ English-language skill levels and to evaluate their progress.
Practicality
There is no question that the TOEIC test’s greatest strength lies in its practicality. The test is conducted entirely in multiple choice question format, allowing for large numbers of students to be tested simultaneously, and the papers to be marked electronically. All scoring is exact, and there is no need to worry about difficult judgement calls that arise in SEMAC scoring. Administration is quite straightforward and the test is relatively inexpensive.
