Siapakah penyelenggara TOEFL?

Mungkin masih banyak yang belum tahu siapa penyelenggara TOEFL. Maka dari itu ,
dalam postingan kali ini akan dijelaskan siapa penyelenggara TOEFL.

TOEFL International diselenggarakan oleh lembaga khusus, English Test Service (ETS), yang berpusat di Amerika Serikat. Lembaga ini memiliki perwakilan di seluruh dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Di Indonesia sendiri, perwakilan ETS tidak hanya di Jakarta atau kota-kota besar di pulau Jawa saja. ETS menjalin kerjasama dengan perwakilan-perwakilan di berbagai daerah  di Indonesia, seperti Bogor, Medan, dan Makasar. Lembaga yang diserahi kewenangan menyelenggarakan TOEFL di Indonesia tidak seluruhnya merupakan lembaga kursus Bahasa Inggris. Di Bandung, misalnya, TOEFL dikelola oleh dua universitas yang memiliki Unit Pusat Bahasa (UPT), yaitu Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) dan Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). Sedangkan di Jakarta, TOEFL anatara lain dikelola oleh Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat.

Setiap tahun, ETS mengeluarkan jadwal tes yang akan diselenggarakan di seluruh dunia. Anda bisa melihat jadwal terbaru dengan mengakses situs ETS di www.ets.org.

For instance, one may find it easier to understand a bar graph, a pie chart and a line graph, but face a lot of challenges trying to describe a table.
