Students around the world wanting help with the TOEFL English test have a new tool: a mobile app.The "TOEFL official app" became available last week. Users can download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play.TOEFL stands for 'Test of English as a Foreign Language.' Students must pass the test to get into many universities in the United States and other English-speaking countries.It is made up of four parts: reading, listening, writing and speaking.Test-takers will be able to use it for everything from registration and test preparation, to receiving their scores and requesting health-related accommodations."What we wanted to do through the app is to meet them where they are on their own terms and schedule, and on the devices they increasingly prefer to use," said Srikant Gopal.He leads the TOEFL program at the non-profit Educational Testing Service, or ETS, and recently spoke with VOA about the new app.
