Abstract
The focus of this paper is to explore the students’ problems in answering the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). TOEFL is a type of language testing to reveal the students’ English proficiency. This is a descriptive study based on in-depth semi-structured interview and documentation. The data source was taken from students of English Department that had failed or had done TOEFL test more than twice. The writer used purposive sampling, total of test takers that had done TOEFL test more than twice is 14 test takers as sample. To gain data, the writer had conducted interview to respondents and one of Language Development Center staff. Findings showed that the implementation of TOEFL at STAIN Zawiyah Cot Kala Langsa in 2014 is not well, because many students cannot get standard score yet so they must repeat the test several times. The study also showed that the main problems of the students in answering the TOEFL test were due to several conflicting reasons, such as fewer basic skills, lack of practice, lack of motivation, and students’ individual differences such as age and social status. Thus, the study showed that the students’ efforts to get standard score in TOEFL test is low.
