In this episode of the TOEFL Speaking Prep Podcast for the AI Era, we dive deep into a critical question: Is the TOEFL test fair? As one of the most widely recognized English proficiency tests in the world, with test-takers from over 150 countries, ensuring fairness is crucial.

Join us as we take a behind-the-scenes look at the extensive research conducted by ETS, the organization behind the TOEFL. We explore how their "TOEFL Committee of Examiners" and innovative AI tools like E-Rater and SpeechRater work to level the playing field for all test-takers, regardless of background. You'll also learn about the rigorous research process ETS uses to make sure the test measures what it’s supposed to—English proficiency, not subject matter knowledge.

Is the TOEFL as fair as it can be? How is AI reshaping language assessment? Tune in to find out and discover how the future of language testing is evolving!
