ETS is hosting an event next month in Shanghai that may include announcements regarding major upgrades to the TOEFL program. Or maybe some other core ETS product. Says ETS China (on LinkedIn):
Under the theme “Empowering with Expertise, Thriving Together,” we’ll unveil major upgrades to ETS’s core products and services and introduce new strategic initiatives for the Chinese market.
It could be a nothingburger, but note that the major changes to the TOEFL were unveiled at a ceremony in China back in 2023.
If anyone reading this attends, do send me a summary of the key points.
