【英國留學網(https://abroad.hopetrip.com.hk/uk/) - 英國留學移民政策】英國移民局托福請求
近段時光,“英國叫停ETS主理的測驗一事鬧得滿城風雨,在英全部的ETS測驗(包含托福、托業、GRE等)已被叫停”等新聞成為眾人存眷的話題。那末關於此事的究竟畢竟若何呢?接下來是出國留學頻道(abroad.hopetrip.com.hk )小編為眾人整頓的相幹信息!
4月17日,收到移民局發來的通知布告郵件關照最新關於針對英國移民局承認的說話測驗中間- (美國教導測驗辦事中間)ETS的查詢拜訪希望,明白指出將再也不與前述機構續約,再也不認可ETS旗下的兩大英語測驗-“托福”及“托業”說話成就。
此事宜對付行將留學英國,在預備英語測驗的申請人有極大影響。下面簡略的對這次通知布告做一個根本先容和解釋。
名詞說明:
ETS:Education Test Services美國教導測驗辦事中間
SELT:Secure English Language Tests平安英語測試
TOEFL:Test of English as a Foreign Language托福測驗
TOEIC:Test of English for International Communication托業測驗
事宜回放:
2014年2月10日,英國BBC廣角鏡欄目頒布了一段臥底偷拍視頻,清晰的揭穿了在英國境內的ETS考點傍邊存在的替考題目(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26024375),隨後英海內政大臣特麗莎·梅宣布緊迫通知布告宣告停息接收英國境內ETS考點發表的全部托業測驗成就作為英國移民局承認的說話成就並對宣告對ETS供給的測驗成就舉行周全查詢拜訪。此行為其實不包含對英國境外得到的托業成就有人和影響,然則影響到一些大學增強對申請人說話才能的檢察,並宣告不接收托業成就作為入學申請時可應用的說話成就。
本日- 2014年4月17日,英海內政部的官方內部通知布告體系發出了對2月10日暗訪事宜的查詢拜訪進度,郵件內容以下:
Dear Peng,
I am writing to update you about the actions we are taking as our investigation into ETS Secure English Language tests (SELT) taken in the UK progresses and the impacts that this may have on you and your students。
Our licence agreement with ETS, in UK and overseas, ended on 5 April 2014 and will not be extended。
We have suspended accepting ETS tests as evidence of English language ability. Applicants wishing to make an application should take a test with an alternative provider from the list。
We will write to you again with full details of how we will work through applications that are currently suspended。
I am sure you understand that we treat any threat to immigration control with the utmost seriousness and as such, cannot allow any cases where fraudulent evidence may have been obtained to be processed until we have absolute certainty that they are genuine。
If you wish to withdraw your sponsorship of an applicant, you must do so via the Sponsorship Management System (SMS). The application will then be refused。

重點內容在於:
1:正式確認(HOME OFFICE)英國移民局/內政部與ETS(美國教導測驗辦事中間)之間的考點授權條約從2014年4月6日開端停止(再也不續約)。本應當4月6日就確認的情形然則停止到17號頒布,是不是由於會談沒有殺青同等,大概說ETS(美國教導測驗辦事中間)的盡力末了沒有得到勝利?不得而知。
2:受此通知布告影響,ETS(美國教導測驗辦事中間)旗下的托業和托福成就將都不在被英國移民局/內政部承認。換句話說,許多持有托福測驗成就的考生有大概面對須要從新選取說話測驗的為難困難,由於移民局正式不認可全部托福和托業測驗成就,也就象征著必需供給一個替換測驗成就,比方雅思[微博]成就。
3:受此通知布告影響,內政部發起全部英國境內的包管人,包含大學,店主和其他須要考核英語成就的機構都應當撤消響應的包管資歷。(郵件裏的表達方法是典範的英式方法,說法是:假如你願望撤消提供應申請人的包管號碼,你應當從你的網上治理體系撤消,申請者的簽證會被謝絕)。
4:潛伏司法膠葛:正如第3條所說,假如英國大學不撤消對登科門生申請簽證的包管資歷,內政部將比擬為難,由於依照現行的移民律例,積分制的情形下,假如申請人得到了第四品級的T4門生簽證分數45分,移民局是必需要賜與簽證的。由於:4月17日頒布的新通知布告,不是移民法,不具備司法效率,由於要提交新的移民法修正草案到經由過程審議成為司法還須要時光(停止到本日,2014年4月17日,內政部官方網站上移民法附表中ETS仍舊是被認可的測驗)。然則假如大學自動承當了撤消包管人資歷的義務,內政部就能夠光明正大的謝絕簽證申請。
5:後續題目處置:從本日的體系通知布告來看,僅僅是一個預報,許多詳細的細節沒有觸及到。包含已遞交簽證的申請人應當如那邊理本身的簽證申請,包含假如沒有時光測驗得到新的說話成就的申請人應當如那邊理等等。信任內政部後續也將連續頒布更多的實行細節。
ETS官方回應:
ETS也緊迫的宣布了一個關於此通知布告的聲明,對與英海內政部不克不及續約表現遺憾而且重申僅僅是托業測驗中間有題目,托福測驗仍舊是平安靠得住的。同時許諾將進一步進步對測驗的監察水平,乃至包含生物語音信息辨認辦法。
整體感到來講,英海內政部此次針對ETS的查詢拜訪及停滯續約行動很大水平上反響了內政部對付相似題目的緊張性已意想到而且決議下力量糾正,固然托福測驗成就遭到連累,然則並不料味著今後沒有機遇從新進入內政部的考核清單中。
ETS: Update on TOEFL® Testing in the U.K。
Following the broadcast of a BBC Panorama program in February 2014 which highlighted an organized criminal element seeking to circumvent the U.K.’s visa-granting process, ETS has made the decision not to extend our Secure English-language Testing (SELT) license with the Home Office. As a result, TOEIC® and TOEFL iBT® testing will no longer be offered for U.K. visa-granting purposes。
We appreciate the Home Office's recognition that while the TOEFL and TOEIC tests shared a SELT license, the fraud uncovered by the BBC program was limited to TOEIC testing. Security measures around the TOEFL test were never under question. The TOEFL test remains the most widely respected English-language test in the world recognized by more than 9,000 institutions in more than 130 countries。
Security is and always has been a top priority; however, we’ve made this decision in response to the security challenges portrayed in the BBC program. We acknowledge that we fell short of our own high standards and sincerely regret the dishonest activities of third party contractors in the U.K. whose job it was to administer the TOEIC tests honestly and fairly. When applied properly, our global security protocols prevent and detect incidents of fraud. Going forward we will continue to implement additional, stricter, best-in-class security measures for our tests, including biometric voice analyses, to ensure our test scores remain the most trustworthy in the world。
Students seeking more information on test cancellation and refund policies related to U.K. visa testing should contact TOEFLServicesattoefl@ets.org。
