We investigated the scoring of the Speaking section of the Test of English as a Foreign LanguageTM Internet-based (TOEFL iBT(R)) test by speakers of English and one or more Indian languages. We explored the extent to which raters from India, after being trained and certified, were able to score the TOEFL examinees with mixed first languages accurately and consistently. The effectiveness of a special training package designed for scoring Indian examinees was examined as well. We found that the raters from India performed as well as the operational U.S.-based raters in scoring both Indian and non-Indian examinees. The special training also helped the raters score Indian examinees more consistently and confidently
