This well-loved copy of Deborah Phillips’ “Longman Introductory Course for the TOEFL Test” offers a glimpse into the world of language proficiency assessments. The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) has been a pivotal exam for international students seeking to study at English-speaking universities since its inception in the 1960s. This particular edition, designed for the paper-based TOEFL format, provides a comprehensive preparation guide with practice tests and a CD-ROM for additional resources.
While the TOEFL has since transitioned to an internet-based format, this book remains a valuable artifact of the era when standardized tests were administered on paper. It reminds us of the challenges faced by non-native English speakers navigating the complex world of academic admissions and the crucial role of language proficiency assessments in opening doors to higher education opportunities worldwide. For collectors interested in the history of language testing or the evolution of educational resources, this book offers a tangible connection to a significant era in the globalization of academic exchange.
