Abstract

This study presents a socialization activity that introduced the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to 11th-grade students in the TKJ program at SMK Nusantara Tanah Jawa. This initiative aimed to raise awareness of the TOEFL test format, its importance, and its relevance to academic and career development. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, involving 16 students through a structured program consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Findings indicated that most students were initially unfamiliar with the TOEFL, especially the listening component. However, this socialization activity effectively increased students' understanding and interest in English learning, especially in the listening section. Challenges such as low prior knowledge and limited engagement were addressed through simplified explanations and interactive sessions. Overall, the activity contributed positively to improving students' English language competence and motivation, preparing them to understand the TOEFL listening section for global academic and professional demands.

Abstract

This community-based outreach program was conducted to improve Grade XI students’ awareness, skills, and motivation in preparing for the TOEFL Listening section at SMA Negeri 3 Pematangsiantar. As English language proficiency becomes an increasingly essential requirement for global education and career advancement, early exposure to international standardized tests such as TOEFL is critical. The program introduced students to the structure and function of the TOEFL, including its different types (iBT, ITP, and Prediction) and the specific challenges of the Listening section. Students were trained to use effective strategies such as focusing on the final line in dialogues, identifying synonymous phrases in questions and answers, and avoiding traps based on similar sounds. The implementation included interactive presentations, real-time simulations using Google Forms, and guided listening activities with authentic audio. Students participated actively and demonstrated improved engagement, comprehension, and test readiness. The feedback phase indicated that students gained a clearer understanding of TOEFL Listening tasks and increased confidence in approaching listening-based questions. The combination of strategy-based instruction, digital simulations, and supportive discussion helped students overcome initial anxiety and performance gaps. As a result, this outreach initiative successfully equipped students with practical listening tools, increased their motivation to practice independently, and laid the foundation for future TOEFL preparation. It is recommended that similar programs be extended to other schools to support students’ readiness for international English proficiency testing.

Abstract

This study aims to determine how the application of Islamic counseling using the role model technique can improve the morals and manners of elementary school students. The background to this study stems from the persistent lack of respect for teachers and peers, as well as the failure to demonstrate politeness in speech and actions. Through exemplary stories of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Islamic figures, students are expected to emulate the good behaviors reflected in the stories. The method used in this study was a qualitative case study approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively using the steps of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The study subjects consisted of several students who experienced difficulties in maintaining good manners during interactions at school. The results showed that the application of the role model technique in Islamic counseling resulted in positive changes in student behavior. They became more polite, respected teachers, and behaved better towards their peers. Thus, the role model technique can be used as an effective method for developing morals in elementary school students.

Abstract

Curriculum development is a continuous and comprehensive process aimed at creating an effective and relevant learning system that meets the needs of learners and the demands of changing times. This process involves planning and designing the curriculum by considering critical aspects such as national education goals, material relevance, flexibility in implementation, and efficient use of available resources. Fundamental principles of curriculum development include goal orientation, relevance, flexibility, continuity, and effectiveness, which serve as key guidelines in designing curricula that focus not only on academic content but also on developing broad life skills, including critical thinking, social skills, and vocational abilities. Moreover, a well-designed curriculum addresses both individual and collective differences among learners, ensures continuity across educational levels and subjects, and optimizes the use of funds, time, personnel, and facilities. The quality of curriculum development is measured based on established national education standards, with the aim of producing competent generations ready to face challenges in the workforce and society. Therefore, curriculum development grounded on these principles supports comprehensive and sustainable educational success.
