Seeing the current challenges of global competition, many higher education institutions set the graduation requirements by assigning the students to follow TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) in order to measure and determine the capability or proficiency in English-speaking graduates. Considering TOEFL as one of the most ideal test in assessing English skill, this study aims to generate product in the form of E-TEFL (EEPIS Test of English as a Foreign Language) which is established as an evaluation tool to meet the academic needs in Electronic Engineering Polytechnic Institute of Surabaya (PENS). Research and development (R&D) is a method used in this study. The study was conducted through several stages namely (1) need analysis, (2) System design, (3) E-TEFLdevelopment, (4) expert validation (lecturers) and first revision, (5) try-out, (6) final revision. The use of technology in developing E-TEFL application is expected to give another alternative in learning TOEFL and E-TEFL can be used as an ideal assessment tool for proving students’ language proficiency as graduation requirement.
