Abstract

The implementation of this community service activity aims to increase the understanding of FKIP students at the Islamic University of Riau in working on TOEFL questions. This is very much needed by students as early as possible so that they can prepare themselves to compete in the world of work later after they graduate from college. The facts on the ground show that there are many job opportunities for those who have English proficiency both orally and in writing. Therefore, the service team sees the need for educators to equip students with the ability to work on TOEFL questions, so that later they will understand how to do it and get the maximum score according to the needs of the world of work. This service is carried out in the English laboratory of FKIP UIR. The mentoring participants were 25 final semester students of the English Education Study Program FKIP UIR. With this assistance, it is hoped that they will be motivated to study TOEFL and be able to prepare themselves to compete for jobs. This service activity received a positive response from all activity participants. They said that such activities could be carried out on an ongoing basis so that they would continue to receive guidance in studying the TOEFL. Furthermore, participants are motivated to continue to improve their ability to work on TOEFL questions in order to get better job opportunities for the future.

Abstract

Speaking is a significant and fundamental skill that may help students enhance their ability to communicate with their classmates verbally. Henceforth, instructors or teachers need to incorporate some educating media which can develop the students’ English speaking competence. Therefore, this study aims to discover the viability of news and media literacy for speaking practice at an advanced education level. The researchers used experimental research and took two groups as the sample of this study. There were experimental groups in class 4b and a control group in 4a class that comprised 35 students for each class. Moreover, the speaking test, mainly pre-test and post-test in both experimental class and control class, was also used as gathering information of the research. This research found that the difference between pre-test and post-test average speaking practice results was -24.540 to -17,689, with a 95 percent confidence range of -24.540 to -17,689 for this finding. Finally, this study discovered an average difference in students' speaking practice between the pre-test and post-test. Therefore, enhancing students use of news and media literacy is necessary for speaking practice and teachers need to encourage students’ use of technology to find out online sources as media literacy in learning the second language. They have various kinds of information from media sources and improve the advanced vocabulary that they used while practising speaking with their classmates. To summarize, integrating news and media literacy has a substantial impact on enhancing students' speaking skills among four-semester students of English Language Education in Pekanbaru.
