Abstract

This research was aimed at developing a learning model that is applicable and effective for teaching TOEIC-Based English Correspondence at Accounting department, Bali State Polytechnic so that students’ English proficiency, especially in the aspects of Reading and Grammar can be increased reflected by students’ TOEIC Score. English Correspondence is one of the subjects given to students of the Accounting Department in semester 4 and was designed in accordance with the curriculum applied. The topics provide students a lot of time to practice their English both orally and written, especially those related to correspondence. This study is qualitative research conducted through Class-Action Research at class IVF Accounting Managerial, Accounting department, Bali State Polytechnic consisting of 31 students and was planned in two (2) cycles, two (2) meetings each. Authentic Reading Section Pre-test of TOEIC was given first to students to know their TOEIC score in Reading Section. The students’ answer sheets were then tabulated, analyzed, and evaluated by which a lesson Plan for Cycle 1 was developed. The Reading Section TOEIC contents were inserted to the teaching materials. Observation was carried out during the learning process in two meetings. At the end of each cycle, a questioner was distributed to students to find out their perceptions on this learning model. Reflection was conducted by analyzing and evaluating both the results of the questioner and observation. Reflection results were used as feedback to design cycles two. A descriptive analysis carried out to both students’ TOEIC scores and students’ perception on the model shows that TOEIC-Based English Correspondence Learning Model is able to increase students’ TOEIC score and their perceptions on the teaching model is very good. As long as TOEIC score is used to measure the student English Competence, the result of this study has very positive implications. Implementing this model will save time and costs as there is no need to hold ‘TOEIC-Preparation Test’ for a large number of students which is relatively time consuming and expensive.
