About TOEFL
Definition
TOEFL stands for Test Of Home as a Foreign Language. TOEFL is a standardized English language skills in writing a person (de jure) that includes four aspects of acquisition: Listening, Writing and Reading.

TOEFL Test Objectives
TOEFL has two general objectives are: Academic and General. In the same form, certification recommendations to the TOEFL can use both of these things.
Academic tests are used for educational, research or related academic activities abroad, or in Indonesia. For post-graduate, usually a minimum value is 550. whereas for S1 is 500
General is generally used for the purpose of employment, promotion or job assignment. Many companies that installed the English language standard of employees by looking at TOEFL score - his. Generally, a minimum TOEFL score is 500 for a standard promoted.
As far as I see, the range of average TOEFL score - average of Indonesia with a minimum education level S1 is very volatile. There are even some who do not know what and for what it is TOEFL (they read: "tufl"). Not so with makers English majors in college. At least they know, what's the TOEFL. However, a TOEFL score or a graduate student majoring in English language does not guarantee even higher. At several times recruiment case, I found some applicant obtain a TOEFL score 300, while in his application, which is concerned alumni of the ABA (Foreign Language Academy).
While in general, fluctuations in the average TOEFL score - rating ranges from 300 to 600.

Does anyone TOEFL score guarantee English language skills a person?
Generally, people understand that language is English speaking, conversation, cas cis cus and so on. English language covers 4 main skills: Listening (digestion words through hearing), Writing (digestion words through writing and grammar), reading (the meaning of a text digestion language) and Speaking (able to pronounce).
Talking about language acquisition, it can not be removed from the mastery of four skills earlier, perfectly. However, many of them think, what is important is the ability to say, even with a full grammar of tolerance and a crude choice of words and the origin met.
Examples:
John: Would you drive me to the hospital?
Us: Better go now ....
From the meaning of the conversation, saying it has a meaning. But we also know, the quality of a person known by the way he talked, especially the use diksinya (choice of words).
