Abstract

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is one of the standardized competence examinations. Before taking the thesis examination, undergraduates at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, in particular, are mandated to take the TOEFL. This research intends to examine how English majors in the English Department perceive the TOEFL exam. To collect data, semi structured interview protocols were done, and data were analysed qualitatively. Findings suggest that while it poses some challenges, TOEFL helps students in applying for jobs. This study implies that it is necessary to ensure that improvement in teaching the test in the classroom setting remains available.
