“…Comparing this study to previous research, such as Aziz (2016) and Karjo & Ronaldo (2019), it is evident that all three studies have found a positive perception among students regarding the inclusion of the TOEFL test as a graduation requirement. However, the key distinction lies in the type of TOEFL test used in each study.…”

“…The questionnaire was adapted from the works of Karjo (2019) and Alek et al (2019) as references. Karjo (2019) delineates that perception can be measured through three aspects: the relationship between TOEFL and academic achievement, the benefits of taking preparation classes, and the advantages of attaining the minimum TOEFL Prediction test score. To collect the data, respondents completed a questionnaire consisting of 29 items, using a 5-point scale for their responses.…”

The students at the university under investigation are required to successfully complete the TOEFL Prediction test in order to be eligible for graduation. This study was conducted to assess the perceptions of these students regarding the TOEFL Prediction test as one of the graduation requirements. The research employed a descriptive-quantitative methodology and involved 171 English Study Program students from three different academic batches. A questionnaire served as the primary instrument for data collection, with data analysis carried out using Microsoft Excel and SPSS statistics version 26. The results of the data analysis indicated that the mean scores for most items in the questionnaire were in the high range. Specifically, 25 out of the 29 questionnaire items obtained mean scores above 3.40, demonstrating that students' perceptions in this study leaned positively toward the TOEFL Prediction test policy. However, it's important to note that nearly half of the students recognized that the TOEFL Prediction test is not an easy test. Furthermore, there is room for improvement in terms of students' understanding of the type of TOEFL test provided by the language centre at the university and the benefits of the TOEFL certificate. These findings can provide valuable input for the university's policymakers and administrators. They can use this information to design new initiatives and strategies aimed at assisting students in improving their test-taking skills and their understanding of the TOEFL Prediction test's structure. Such efforts can contribute to enhancing students' overall readiness for this requirement.

“…Although 57.9% of the participants affirmed in the survey that they spoke English fluently and that all IS are required to pass the Test of English Foreign Language (Karjo & Ronaldo, 2019), it is unknown how nearly 42% did not believe they were not English proficient. It is unknown how such participants would have understood the mental health concepts assessed via the measures.…”

International students (IS) face unique challenges when attending higher education institutions in the United States that derive from acculturative stress and contribute to feelings of loneliness and depressive symptoms. This study examined the sense of meaning as a moderator in the relationship between acculturative stress, loneliness, and depressive symptoms in IS. A quantitative research design using a linear multiple regression model was employed to investigate the interplay between the variables. The findings of 80 participants indicated that there is a significant relationship between acculturative stress, loneliness, and depressive symptoms. The results also indicate that a sense of meaning moderated the relationship between acculturative stress and depressive symptoms. These results may assist counselor educators, mental health clinicians, and higher education administrators to better serve the IS population.
