The required score was shifted from 26 to 25 on the Speaking Section of the TOEFL iBT. The Speaking Section of the TOEFL iBT is required for teaching personnel and will qualify them for any duty assigned by a department. The previous title of the policy was “Program of Assistance for Teaching Personnel Whose Primary Language is Not English”. The title of the policy has been modified to remove the words “of Assistance”. The current title of the policy is “Program for Teaching Personnel Whose Primary Language is Not English”.
