Abstract

Many factors influence the acquisition of a language. One of the factors influences gender differences. The language used by men and women is sometimes different in terms of time used, words produced, and standard language used. Based on findings from related areas, this research aims to give a comprehensive account of gender differences in second language acquisition in the Access class organized by IIEF (Indonesian International Education Foundation) collaborated with RELO (Regional English Language Officer) under the supervision of the US Embassy. There are differences in talking time used by women and men. women also uttered more words rather than men. But there is not a big difference between women and men in using the standard form of language. The data that was obtained from four men and four women participants showed that women spent more time to respond the questions. Women tend to comment on the statements in detail. The number of words uttered by women and men is different. Men produced the words on average 80 words in unlimited time which was prepared by the researcher. Women uttered more words than men. The average number of words uttered by women is 174 words. Women and men have no differences in using standard forms of the language.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Communicative Approach and the Test-Focused Approach in TOEFL® preparation classes. Sixty-four students from Islamic Senior High School Madrasah Aliyah Al-Insan (pseudonym) in Jombang, East Java, Indonesia, were divided into two groups: one receiving instruction based on the Communicative Approach and the other on the Test-Focused Approach. Using a quasi-experimental design, pre-test and post-test scores were analyzed to measure improvements in TOEFL performance. The results showed significant score increases in both groups. The Communicative Approach group’s mean pre-test score of 456 improved to 483 post-intervention, while the Test-Focused Approach group’s mean score rose from 460 to 493. The paired sample t-test results indicated statistically significant improvements within each group, with p-values of 0.00 for the Communicative Approach and 0.00 for the Test-Focused Approach. Additionally, the independent sample t-test revealed that the Test-Focused Approach group performed significantly better than the Communicative Approach group post-intervention, with a p-value of 0.030. These findings align with existing theories on language learning and test preparation, suggesting that while communicative methods enhance overall language proficiency, test-focused strategies more effectively boost immediate test performance. The study concludes that integrating both approaches in TOEFL preparation programs can provide a balanced and comprehensive strategy, optimizing both language development and test readiness. Future research should explore the long-term effects of such integrated methods on students' language proficiency and academic success.
