The difference between IELTS and TOEFL

A. The countries that organize the exams are different

1, IELTS: by the British Council, Cambridge University Examinations Board and the Australian Education International Development Agency (IDP) **** with the management.

2, TOEFL: the U.S. Educational Testing Service (ETS) management.

Second, the test structure is different

1, IELTS:

Academic (A): listening, academic reading, academic writing, speaking

Training (G): listening, training reading, training writing, speaking

2, TOEFL: reading, listening, oral examination, writing.

Three, different scoring standards

1, IELTS: language fluency and coherence, vocabulary change, sentence richness and grammatical accuracy, pronunciation IELTS examiner according to these four scoring standards, respectively, rating scores, and these four are equally important.

2, TOEFL: subjective question type of scoring is taken as a whole scoring principle, all-round objective judgment of the overall quality of speaking and writing answers, rather than to pay attention to small errors and single weakness.

The focus is on the candidate's ability to use the language he or she has mastered to communicate ideas effectively and to control the process of thought development, rather than on the development of speech or writing. A solid grasp of a particular grammar point and a demonstration of that vocabulary is not the focus of the judgment.
