Abstract

TOEFL test-takers with limited grammar (structure) proficiency tend to achieve lower scores. To enhance structure skills, continuous and intensive learning and practice are required. However, many test-takers experience difficulties and boredom when studying structure due to its perceived complexity and lack of engagement. Therefore, an interactive and effective learning medium is needed to facilitate easier and more enjoyable grammar acquisition. The TOEFL Test Pro (Android-Based Application) serves as a potential solution to improve the grammar proficiency of students at Universitas Hafshawaty Zainul Hasan. This community engagement program was implemented in three phases: preparation, execution, and evaluation. The program involved 47 first-year students from Universitas Hafshawaty and was conducted at the university’s premises in Pajarakan, Probolinggo. Evaluation results indicate that after the training, students demonstrated greater enthusiasm in learning and answering TOEFL questions, particularly in the structure or grammar section. The accessibility and interactive features of the TOEFL Test Pro application played a key role in increasing students' learning motivation. Additionally, the question explanation feature helped students identify and understand their mistakes, significantly improving their grammar comprehension. The daily reminder feature further encouraged students to consistently access the application and engage in intensive TOEFL practice, ultimately leading to a projected gradual improvement in their scores.

Abstract

The TOEFL ITP reading comprehension section poses a significant challenge for many EFL learners, necessitating innovative instructional approaches. This study aims to develop and evaluate a dedicated web-based learning platform integrating interactive strategies to enhance reading skills for the TOEFL ITP. Employing a Research and Development (RD) design with the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), the study involved 109 university students selected through purposive sampling. The platform's development included validation by English teaching and educational technology experts, followed by a limited field test. Data were collected through pre-test/post-test assessments and a usability questionnaire. The results indicated a substantial improvement in reading proficiency, with mean scores increasing from 355.88 to 423.45, a statistically significant gain of 18.98% (Z = -9.019, p .001). Furthermore, user evaluations revealed positive feedback on the platform's accessibility, interactivity, and ability to maintain engagement. This study concludes that the purpose-built web-based platform serves as an effective intervention for improving TOEFL ITP reading skills. It contributes to the field of digital-based EFL instruction by demonstrating the efficacy of a tailored, interactive learning tool for standardized test preparation.

Abstract

This study investigates the design, development, and implementation of a Digital Video Series (DVS) aimed at enhancing Medical English speaking proficiency among health-science students. Using a Research and Development (RD) approach adapted from the Borg and Gall model, the study followed seven systematic stages including needs analysis, planning, product development, expert validation, field testing, and final revision. A one-group pre-test–post-test design was employed with 109 Nursing, Midwifery, and Pharmacy students to measure speaking improvement after the implementation of the DVS, which features authentic clinical communication scenarios. The results demonstrated a substantial increase in speaking performance, with mean scores rising by 13.49 points and a statistically significant difference confirmed through a paired-sample t-test (p .001). Students also reported highly positive perceptions of the videos’ clarity, relevance, and usefulness for supporting communicative practice. Overall, the study provides empirical evidence that systematically developed video-based materials can effectively strengthen communicative competence in English for Medical Purposes (EMP). The DVS offers a feasible and contextually grounded model for integrating multimedia learning resources into EMP curricula, particularly in settings with limited access to authentic clinical exposure.
