The aim is to find the learning facilities' impact on students' preparation on the TOEFL test. Students must take the TOEFL test as one of the requirements for admission to universities, scholarships and job vacancies. The research approach is quantitative, and the research method is a survey. The population are ninety students from English Department Study Program, STKIP Al Maksum, who already took the TOEFL test; the sample were fifty-three students, and the author used random sampling to choose the sample. The data collection is from the questionnaire, which was analyzed through descriptive analysis as the data analysis technique. The result is that learning facilities consisting of large and comfortable classrooms, presentation equipment, books, computers and the internet influenced students' preparation for the TOEFL test. The average score was above 50% among the questions. Workshops and seminars also support students to build confidence and readiness in following the TOEFL test. In conclusion, adequate learning facilities can support students' preparation for taking the TOEFL test.

Abstract

This research employs critical discourse analysis (CDA) to examine a news article titled "KPU Chief Rebuffs Allegations of Bias during VP Debate" from the Jakarta Post, focusing on the transition from print to online media or E-Paper. In this research, the two main methods used to collect data are documentation via the Jakarta Post e-paper news page and content review. This approach provides the advantage of exploring information in depth and comprehensively related to the phenomenon or event that is the focus of the research. Utilizing Teun A. van Dijk's CDA framework, the analysis encompasses macro, superstructure, and micro structures. The macro-structural analysis reveals the social and political context, identifying social groups and emphasizing narrative importance. The critical discourse superstructure analysis delves into linguistic patterns, representations of power, and strategic language use. Finally, the micro-structural analysis explores word choice, grammar, writing style, and sentence structure to understand how language constructs arguments and responds to accusations. Through these lenses, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of how the news shapes and reflects social and political dynamics, contributing valuable insights into media discourse surrounding political events in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examined the difficulties students experience when learning syntactic tree diagrams, the strategies they use to manage these difficulties, their perceptions of the effectiveness of these strategies, and their suggestions for improving instruction. Using a descriptive qualitative design backed by quantitative features, data were collected via a standardized questionnaire from 31 fifth-semester students of the English Education Study Program in Indonesia who had completed a syntax course. The findings show that students primarily struggle with identifying phrase types (Mean: 3.68) and understanding complex sentence structures (Mean: 3.52), as well as applying theoretical concepts to diagram construction (Mean: 3.42). To address these challenges, students rely on a range of strategies, with digital tools—particularly artificial intelligence platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini (Mean: 4.06)—and educational video resources (Mean: 3.74) emerging as the most frequently used and most helpful. While AI provides immediate, step-by-step procedural support, students emphasized that its effectiveness is maximized when combined with collaborative approaches such as peer discussion and direct consultation with lecturers. The study concludes that learning syntactic tree diagrams involves significant conceptual demands, and students benefit most from instructional methods that incorporate visual scaffolding and interactive resources. Future research should employ experimental designs to compare AI-assisted instruction with traditional methods and investigate the impact of digital literacy on students' mastery of syntactic analysis.
