Now, the need of English mastery among students and job seekers is a must. Both  state and private universities, or companies require English mastery as one of their recruitment or employment requirement.  As the proof, students or job seekers should show their TOEFL certificate with 450 as the minimum score.

Located in SMK BOPKRI 2, Bintaran, Yogyakarta, this class could be followed by just paying the expences of material copy. Youth, students, fresh graduate as job seekers who needed it, were invited to join this class.

The class activity involved participants in the whole learning process. Beginning from the introduction, TOEFL pre-test that covers the mastery of structure, reading, and  listening, students followed it enthusiastically. After several meetings, participants got final test to know how far they had mastered the TOEFL matery. Besides TOEFL matery, participants also learned English through games, role-play dan other simple game technique, like guessing things. Such practices made English easier to learn and to be remembered. Guiding by Kencana Devia Candra, S.S  as the  TOEFL  instructure, the matery  became interesting to learn and the class became interesting to be followed.
