Abstract

TOEFL is usually used as a placement test to categorize students into different class levels in English language training. All levels are usually taught similar materials with different complexity levels. However, TOEFL result can be used to decide what materials can be skipped for a certain level of students, especially for advanced level. The aim of this research was to find out level of student mastery of grammar based on their level of English. For this purpose, TOEFL test was given to 299 students at Syiah Kuala University at different occasions. The test results were analyzed by calculating percentages of correct answers for each grammatical item tested in the TOEFL. The percentages were observed separately for each proficiency level to determine the grammatical items that students with each level of English have mastered. The results showed that students have mastered concepts related to word order, passive voice, and word form when their structure score in the TOEFL reach 450, comparison when 480, and reduced adjective clause when 510. Therefore, when students reach certain level of English based on their TOEFL score, grammatical items related to word order, passive voice, word form, comparison, and reduced adjective clause can be skipped in the teaching and learning process. Keywords:placement test, TOEFL, grammar mastery, EFL learners.

Abstract

Note taking is a type of activity that is inseparable in the academic settings; for example, making short notes on a lecture, creating a list of to-do assignments, or re-writing ideas from a textbook. However, these note taking activities are often done without any particular system since the majority of Indonesian students have little knowledge on how to properly take notes. In this study, the aim was to develop students’ note taking ability by introducing them to a note taking format, commonly known as Cornell notes. The study employed two-cycle class action research to implement the Cornell format to a total of 15 students of English Education Department of University of Muhammadiyah Aceh. The students were asked to take notes by following the procedure in the Cornell format, in which it required the students to write in short phrases/sentences in four blank columns: heading, cue, note taking, and summary. The students’ note taking results were compared to a note taking criteria adapted from AVID, which used a four-scale category. Findings indicated that, in general, ten out of 15 students were in the “fair” category and four were in the “good” category, while only one was “poor”, in taking proper notes by using the Cornell format in cycle I. These results further improved in the cycle II wherein five students had been in the “excellent” category, seven reached the “good” category, and the remaining three were “fair”. The students were eventually able to do appropriate note taking by using the Cornell format, and this suggests that the students can make a good habit in note taking if they apply a correct method. Further, they can also make a summary out of a long written text so that they can easily review and learn a topic better.Keywords:Note taking, Cornell Format.
