Abstract

This study uses online surveys and phone interviews with Taiwanese college students to investigate their perceptions of using the TOEIC® test scores to meet an English‐language graduation requirement. Results indicate that students have positive views about the use of the TOEIC test scores for graduation and believe that preparing to take the test has a positive impact on their language proficiency and future employment prospects. The TOEIC test scores are also perceived favorably by the participants as having high levels of reliability and validity. The study provides empirical evidence to support the use of the TOEIC test as a high‐stakes test for college exit requirement in Taiwan and has implications for similar test use in other countries
