This study is grounded in the context of the ongoing challenges in test preparation, particularly as students face obstacles related to grammar, sentence structure, and familiarity with the test format. The research utilizes a qualitative approach, specifically employing a case study method to gain a deep understanding of the students' perspectives. Three participants were selected based on specific criteria: Academic Performance, completion of a TOEFL course in the previous semester, and varying levels of TOEFL scores. The data collection process involved in-depth interviews with the participants, which were analyzed through thematic analysis to identify, analyze, and report patterns (themes) within their responses. This allowed for a rich, detailed interpretation of the challenges students face, focusing on their personal experiences with the\"Structure and Written Expression\" section. The findings from this research are expected to shed light on the common issues faced by students and suggest potential improvements in TOEFL test preparation methods. This study aims to provide valuable insights that could inform more effective instructional strategies, ultimately enhancing students' performance and confidence in the TOEFL test.  \nKeywords: Students' perception, TOEFL, qualitative  \nTo cite this article: Meylinda (2025) .

This notion highlights that each person has a unique perspective that guides their understanding of the world. Furthermore, individuals process information from various aspects of life, including their educational experiences, in ways that are personal to them.  \nResearch shows that belief systems are the cognitive processes through which individuals become aware of and interpret information about their environment. Perception, however, is how we understand and make sense of the world around us. This process involves receiving input from the five senses, which helps individuals form a better understanding of their experiences. In other words, perception is the way we interpret the meaning of events or objects we encounter, which allows us to assess new information based on our previo","cbCaiv43RNiimnjf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv43RNiimnjf","pdf",1009948,12,"English","# Introduction\n# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Method (Qualitative case study)\n# Findings and implications","[{\"question\":\"What does the study investigate about the TOEFL test?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates students' perceptions of the difficulties they face in the “Structure and Written Expression” section of the TOEFL test at Pamulang University.\"},{\"question\":\"What research approach and analysis method are used?\",\"answer\":\"A qualitative case study method is used, and in-depth interview data are analyzed through thematic analysis to identify patterns (themes) in students’ responses.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the participants selected?\",\"answer\":\"Three participants were selected based on specific criteria: academic performance, completion of a TOEFL course in the previous semester, and varying levels of TOEFL scores.\"}]","EXPLORING STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION ON DIFFICULTIES OF STRUCTURE AND WRITTEN EXPRESSION IN TOEFL TEST - A CASE STUDY | PDF",1790891567]
