* TOEIC is the acronym for Test of English for International
Communication. The TOEIC test is a global standard for the assessment
of communicative English ability and is currently offered in some 60
countries around the world. The TOEIC test was developed and is
administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), a U.S.-based
non-profit test development organization. The TOEIC test in Japan is
administered by the Institute for International Business Communication,
IIBC. (http://www.toeic.or.jp/)
* TOEFL is the acronym for Test of English as a Foreign Language. It
was developed by ETS in 1964. The TOEFL test measures the ability of
non-native speakers of English to use and understand English as it is
spoken, written, and heard in college and university settings. Please

test in Japan. (http://www.cieej.or.jp/toefl/)
