Abstract

TOEFL is important to measure one’s English proficiency, especially for higher education students. This test is frequently used for many purposes such as applying for a job and scholarship. Several universities in Indonesia use TOEFL as a graduation requirement, which means the students must take the TOEFL test before graduation. In mastering TOEFL, some students got difficulties because of some reasons. Therefore, the TOEFL preparation program was needed for students to increase their TOEFL scores. This study aimed to find out the effectiveness of the TOEFL preparation course on students’ TOEFL scores. This research was quantitative experimental research. There were 80 EFL students from various study programs in the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Muhammadiyah Prof. Dr. HAMKA who participated in this study. Before conducting the preparation program, the students took a TOEFL pre-test. After that, they took a TOEFL preparation class for seven meetings. The TOEFL post-test was used to see participants’ different scores after the preparation course was held and the result revealed that the students’ scores increased from the previous pre-test. Thus, TOEFL preparation classes are significant in improving students’ TOEFL scores and therefore recommended for students who want to take the TOEFL test.   Keywords: TOEFL, TOEFL Preparation, TOEFL Score, EFL Students
托福备考课程对英语本科学生托福成绩的影响
托福考试对于衡量一个人的英语水平很重要,尤其是对于受过高等教育的学生。这个测试经常用于许多目的,比如申请工作和奖学金。印度尼西亚的一些大学将托福作为毕业要求,这意味着学生必须在毕业前参加托福考试。在掌握托福考试中,由于一些原因,一些学生遇到了困难。因此,托福预备课程是学生提高托福成绩所必需的。本研究旨在了解托福备考课程对学生托福成绩的影响。本研究为定量实验研究。来自穆罕默德迪亚大学教师培训与教育学院不同专业的80名英语学生参与了这项研究。在开始准备课程之前,学生们参加了托福预考。在那之后,他们参加了七次托福备考课程。通过托福后测,观察参加预备课程的学生的不同成绩,结果显示学生的成绩比之前的预测有所提高。因此,托福备考班对提高学生的托福成绩有重要的作用,因此推荐给想参加托福考试的学生。关键词:托福,托福备考,托福成绩,英语学生
