tugas : Why Toefl very important in accounting

I think during training Preparation of students in activities for the TOEFL Test showed that -Iatihan exercise has not yet been many bring results. for example, students are trained to use strategies "Stated Detail Answer Questions" or "Answer Main Ideas" to items about on several pieces of text, after which they were asked to re-use the strategies for problems pad a subsequent  text. Apparently only approximately 30% -35% of those who successfully answered the question with right Apart from the problems stated above, the researchers speculate that the inability of students Accounting to achieve a score of 400-450 Like TOEFL Test is not just caused. by a factor of the level of difficulty of the TOEFL Test itself (Listening, Structure, Reading Comprehension), but also because presence of other factors such as talent or interest to manage to get high scores, language skills Britain is still low, the motivation learning, mastery of vocabulary, time to do the exercise-Iatihan, factorc social environment and housing that do not support, or books materials are available, and other so on.

TOEFL Test consists of three groups the Listening Comprehension (Part A),
Structure (Part B), and Reading Comprehension (Part C). As mentioned in the introduction above expected that students will not be have difficulty in doing the questions in Part C that will can support their TOEFL score. But from observations during this seen that the Reading Comprehension Test that has been trained with variety of reading strategies to them since junior high and high school is still not much help. As for the understand the language readings England to be more effective students secondary school should have a reading strategy, because they not only learn to understand information per page through the sense of the word per word. As the proposed Grabe (1991), reading is not merely a receptive process of picking up information from the page in a wordby- Manner word Rather, it is a selective process and characterized as an active process of comprehending. Therefore, non-English-speaking readers find it Important to employ reading strategies to Effectively read English texts more. It is clear here that these strategies reading is very important and should continue to be developed in order to be able to understand the English language text especially for people or students non-native English speakers. Grabe added that even tHiS reading process is quite complicated so much done penelitianpenelitian to be able to understand and explain these processes. For example, Ahmad Asraf (2004) examined about the strategies used by students of English as second language in understanding teksteks English language. He examined differences in comprehension reading between students who value good understanding (good readers) with students whose value is (Average readers) by using eight comprehension skills readings (eight of reading comprehension skills) in the form of pertanyaanpertanyaan understanding such as: word meaning, words in context, literal comprehension, drawing inferences from single strings, etc. From the results of his study
Ahmad Asraf found that although good readers and the average readers had the same ability speaking (verbal communication) that good, and both use
strategies to answer questions understanding, it turns out good readers value is higher than the average readers. The study shows that good readers are consistently more a focus pad each type of question and more often refer to or repeat strategies to answer questions understanding compared to average readers.

Furthermore Brantmeier (2002) summarize the reading strategies understanding as follows: The strategies may involve skimming, scanning, guessing, recognizing cognates and word families, reading for meaning, predicting, activating general knowledge, making inferences, following references, and separating ideas from around supporting ideas. Even further Almasi (2003) and Sugirin (1999) adding that the reading strategies meJiputi Evaluating the content, Such as agreeing or disagreeing, making an association with prior knowledge or experience, asking and answering questions, looking at the key words, using Such as sentence structure analysis determining the subject, verb or object of the sentence, skipping and rereading. However, not all strategies that as effective as berbedabedanya text types and strategies used by the students themselves. Thus it is clear that in order able to understand the English text (reading comprehension texts) of the pembelejar or students need to be very learn reading strategies understanding and has skills to answer understanding the question. Same As with the English text on the Like TOEFL Test, students need to be very have the skills to answer comprehension questions based on strategies are taught.

Maybe you've heard the term TOEFL do you know what it meant? This is his explanation and understanding of TOEFL: Test of English as a Foreign Language TOEFL is abbreviated English language proficiency test (American accent) is required to sign in to college (college) or university in the United States or other countries in the world.
