The Prehistory of TOEFL.
Spolsky, Bernard
Language Testing, v7 n1 p98-118 Jun 1990
Explores the origin of the Test of English-as-a-Foreign-Language, with its distinctive characteristics, in a 1961 conference, and seeks thereby to gain an understanding of how developments in language testing theory--and perhaps theory in general--are blended with the requirements and possibilities of real-life implementation.
