説明
TOEIC is purported to be a test of communicative English as used in an international context. Its widespread acceptance, and some might claim over-use, particularly in East Asia, leads to the question of what it actually tests. More particularly, we must ask how a test, which is based solely on multiple-choice item responses, can predict the ability to use communicative skills productively in speech and writing. In addressing this question, the issue of what constitutes English for international communication will also be addressed. This will also implicate the issue of what constitutes communicative competence generally. I will look at the connection between receptive and productive skills in language and will also examine the general structure and item types in TOEIC to try to ascertain its appropriateness and utility for the population for whom it is intended.
