TOEIC Test of English for International Communication

La Prueba de la Comunicación Internacional

(February 25th 2008)

El Inglés es la lengua de las relaciones internacionales. Las empresas se enfrentan con la necesidad creciente de conocer el nivel de comunicación en este idioma no sólo de los que participan en sus procesos de selección sino también de su personal estable, con el fin de adecuarse a las nuevas exigencias.

Como instrumento de apoyo y de gestión, Educational Testing Service (ETS), en Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A., ha elaborado el Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC©) aplicándolo cuatro veces al año. Desde 1979, empresas y organismos públicos y privados de todo el mundo han optado por este sistema, examinándose actualmente 500.000 personas.

¿Qué es TOEIC?

Una prueba de evaluación del nivel de comunicación en inglés dentro del marco empresarial y del comercio internacional, diseñado para adultos no angloparlantes.

Consta de 200 preguntas de opción múltiple divididas en dos secciones: comprensión auditiva (100 preguntas administradas por medio de una casete) y comprensión lectora (100 preguntas). Con una duración de aproximadamente dos horas.

¿Quién utiliza el TOEIC?

Empresas nacionales y multinacionales, administración pública, escuelas de negocios y centros de idiomas para fines tales como:

Acreditación del nivel de Inglés
Selección de personal
Evaluación de la eficacia de programas de formación de Inglés
Traslado o promoción a departamentos o puestos donde el Inglés es necesario o deseable
Selección de empleados que tienen suficiente dominio del Inglés como para beneficiarse de programas de formación en el extranjero
Creación de grupos homogéneos para su futura formación
Determinación de niveles mínimos para participar en los programas de formación de Inglés subvencionados por la empresa
Cuantificar el nivel de Inglés necesario en cada puesto

Puntuación e Interpretación del TOEIC

Cada candidato recibe tres puntuaciones:

Comprensión auditiva en una escala de 5 a 495
Comprensión lectora en una escala de 5 a 495
Puntuación total en una escala de 10 a 990

Estudios de validación y comparación demuestran que entre los resultados del TOEIC y la evaluación directa de la comprensión auditiva y la comprensión lectora existe una correlación altamente significativa. Los mismos estudios demuestran una correlación altamente significativa entre los resultados del TOEIC y los resultados de la evaluación directa de la conversación y la escritura a pesar de no ser evaluadas estas destrezas directamente por el TOEIC.

Ventajas

El TOEIC incorporado a la política de la empresa o de la organización permite:

Una evaluación objetiva, rápida y económica
Establecer objetivos periódicos y evaluables, lo que influye positivamente en la motivación
Seleccionar candidatos ajustados al perfil de cada puesto
Rentabilizar la inversión en formación de Inglés
Elegir el método de formación que obtenga mejores resultados
Definir objetivos lingüísticos
Evaluar colectiva o individualmente en la propia empresa o en nuestro Centro
Tomar decisiones rápidas al disponer de los resultados en plazos máximos de 48 horas
Planificar a corto y largo plazo la política de formación y selección
Controlar el programa en Inglés, de la plantilla
Homogeneizar el sistema de evaluación en empresas con geografía dispersa
