English term or phrase: TOEFL
TOEFL stands for Test Of English as a Foreign Language. How would you transliterate the acronym to Arabic?

The trick is that there are two potential pronunciations, the American pronunciation, and the way people in the Arab world normally pronounce it. I will not bias your answer by describing them.

Thanks for your help.
