Mapping TOEFL iBT ® Scores onto the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to establish a crosswalk between the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT® ) and four ACTFL Assessments to help examinees and institutions of higher education (IHE) to better understand the correspondences between TOEFL iBT scores and examinees’ functional proficiency, i.e., their ability to use functional English in real-world academic and social situations
