TOEFL suspension: British Council recommends IELTS for candidates

 

Following the recent suspension of accredited centres for foreign based Graduate Records Examination (GRE) and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in Nigeria, the British Council in the country has urged candidates willing to school abroad to opt for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), which it administers.

The council, in a statement issued by its Communications Manager, Desmond Omovie said IELTS is widely recognised as a language requirement for courses in higher education in many countries including the UK, Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, among others.

The statement added: “It’s no longer news that the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) administered by the British Council in Nigeria is the leading Secure English Language Test in Nigeria. This feat has been achieved by British Council’s policy of not compromising on quality in the delivery of exams in its 20 years of exams administration in Nigeria.

“And the growth in test numbers also reflects the strong growth in the number of organisations turning to IELTS to meet their needs for language proficiency assessment.

“The test, which assesses skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening according to the council also involves having an interactive conversation with a certified examiner.
