One of the requirements to pass the lecturer certification exam is to attach a TOEFL score. TOEFL itself is an abbreviation of Test of English as a Foreign Language which is used to measure how far a person's English ability is. In the various findings and field observations made, almost all lecturers who will carry out the 2019 TMT lecturer certification at the Ambon State Polytechnic have the same difficulties when they want to face the TOEFL test. Therefore, the Ambon State Polytechnic Community Service Team took the initiative to conduct TOEFL training activities for TMT 2019 lecturers so that they could overcome their difficulties on the TOEFL test by using modules compiled by the team. The results of this service activity show that the English language skills possessed by the lecturers have increased after the training. This can be seen from their pre-test and post-test scores. It is hoped that after going through this activity, they can test their abilities by carrying out the TOEFL test and can penetrate lecturer certification.

One control group and two experimental groups were performed by 72 university learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). An experimental research with randomized pretest-posttest control group was used. Pre-and post-tests of meaning and form recognition were administered. The scores learners obtained from the pre-test and post-test within groups and between groups were analyzed by MANOVA. The findings revealed that MMGR was effective than TGR and the control group. It is suggested that teaching English vocabulary through MMGR program not only helps learners have the ability in vocabulary acquisition, but also enables the instructors to use the program as a potentially supplemental material or alternative method in teaching vocabulary as well.

<p><em>The aim of this study was to design English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course for University students enrolled in the Computer Science Department. For this purpose, academic English language needs of the students were analyzed by using a 5 point Likert scale questionnaire. Additionally, interviews were also conducted with four faculty members of the department and the data were analyzed qualitatively. Thus, mixed methods were used for collection and analyses of data. The results of the analysis of questionnaire and interviews indicate that the four language skills, namely listening, speaking, reading and writing are frequently used in students’ academic context and among the four, speaking is the most frequently used skill. Students are deficient in writing and speaking skills as compared to listening and reading; therefore, speaking and writing should be given preference while designing the syllabus.</em></p>

This paper focuses on examining the application of cognitive methodological strategies and the effective development of listening skill in the English teaching process of the fourth level students room D and E of the Language Center of the National University of Chimborazo. This research had a quasi-experimental design. It is bibliographical, and it has a field and social intervention. The level of research is explanatory, descriptive, and correlational. The population under study comprised of 63 university students whom were divided into control and experimental groups. Taking into account the fact that there is an imbalance in the training of the English language skills within the execution of the educational process, it was made as a theoretical basis for the research. Later, a test and a post-test were applied to the two groups of students. Here, the application of cognitive methodological strategies was experimented in order to verify the relationship between the two variables. It was concluded that the mentioned strategies promote the development of the listening skill, considered by the writers as fundamental in the teaching of the languages.
