内部消息称：今年4月17日，英国移民局内政事务署收到英国移民局发来的公告邮件通知最新关于针对英国移民局认可的语言考试中心——（美国教育考试服务中心）ETS的调查进展，明确指出将不再与前述机构续约，不再承认ETS旗下的两大英语考试——“托福”及“托业”语言成绩。

此事件对于即将留学英国，正在准备英语考试的申请人有极大影响。下面简单的对此次公告做一个基本介绍和说明。

名词解释：

ETS：Education Test Services美国教育考试服务中心

SELT：Secure English Language Tests安全英语测试

TOEFL：Test of English as a Foreign Language托福考试

TOEIC：Test of English for International Communication托业考试

事件回放：

2014年2月10日，英国BBC广角镜栏目公布了一段卧底偷拍视频，清楚的揭露了在英国境内的ETS考点当中存在的替考问题。

随后，英国内政大臣特丽莎·梅发布紧急公告宣布：暂停接受英国境内ETS考点颁发的所有托业考试成绩作为英国移民局认可的语言成绩，并宣布对ETS提供的考试成绩进行全面调查。

此行动并不包括对英国境外获得的托业成绩有人和影响，但是，影响到一些大学加强对申请人语言能力的审查，并宣布不接受托业成绩作为入学申请时可使用的语言成绩。

2014年4月17日，英国内政部的官方内部公告系统发出了对2月10日暗访事件的调查进度，邮件内容如下：

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。
