BEIJING, Jan.6 - The Internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT) resumed its online registration1 service Jan.5, and will be held as scheduled on January 13 and 14, according to China's Ministry2 of Education.

 

Subsea cable connecting China with the United States was damaged by earthquake on December 26 off Taiwan's southern coast, resulting in Internet connection disruption between the mainland and Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States, Southeast Asia and Europe.

 

China Education and Research Network, which offers digital technological3 support for the TOEFL iBT, has launched a standby communication cable to ensure the normal operation of the upcoming exam.

 

In recent years, around 70,000 Chinese college students per year sit in TOEFL.
