PRINCETON, New Jersey, July 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- After a successful launch and administrations of the redesigned four-skills TOEIC Bridge ® tests in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, ETS continues to roll-out the new suite of TOEIC Bridge assessments worldwide.
ETS's comprehensive suite of redesigned TOEIC Bridge tests provide score users and test takers with an objective and effective tool to measure and understand an individual's basic-to-intermediate English-language proficiency.
The redesigned TOEIC Bridge tests focus on an individual's basic- to intermediate-level English proficiency by reliably assessing all four communication skills — listening, reading, speaking and writing — in everyday life and common workplace scenarios that reflect modern language uses and communication methods. The suite provides performance feedback to enable more effective teaching that in turn helps test takers progress on the path to advanced English-language proficiency. In addition, score users will experience greater flexibility and convenience as skills can now be combined into complementary modules to suit their specific needs.

"The redesigned TOEIC Bridge tests were developed using the same rigor and quality control that make the TOEIC program the trusted global standard for measuring English-language proficiency in the workplace."
