As a result, English proficiency is becoming increasingly essential for senior high school students who intend to pursue higher education and compete in the global workforce. Nevertheless, several examinees lack knowledge of the Test for English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), which includes objectives, parts and academic importance. This study will describe the implementation of a TOEFL Socialization Program and its contribution to students' awareness of English skills at SMA Negeri 4 Pematangsiantar. The qualitative descriptive method was used with study samples of 29 eleventh-grade students. The data for this study were collected through classroom observation, documentation, and student involvement in the activities implemented. This program was implemented in three phases: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. They also demonstrated that they were engaged, excited and inquisitive with the discussions regarding TOEFL test preparation as well as educational opportunities post-high school. Nonetheless, the evaluation showed that overcoming limitations in vocabulary and diverse levels of English proficiency was still a problem, particularly at some point in this simulated profession. In general, the TOEFL Socialisation Program was effective in promoting students ' language awareness and motivating them to be eager about learning English for their academic background towards preparation for professional careers.  \nKEYWORDS: TOEFL Socialization, English Skills, Language Awareness, English Proficiency, Senior High School Students.  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nEnglish is one of the most-spoken languages across the globe; it has become an important means for global communication indifferent fields such as education, business and much more. Crystal (2003) defined it as a language that is widely spoken globally among countries, which is intensively used and acts as an intermediary between people with various languages. Within the education sphere, where access to academic journals or study abroad programs can be influenced by language proficiency (often English), the impact of English is becoming more prevalent across the world. Various standardized tests were created to make a good evaluation of how proficient non-native speakers are in English. One such test that is widely accepted and known across universities worldwide is the Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL. As stated by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), TOEFL is prepared purposely to measure some English skills that are demanded in academic fields such as listening, reading and language structure(Damanik et al., 2025; Marbun et al., 2026) . TOEFL score is a general requirement in the world for university acceptance, scholarship applications, study abroad and professional positions with high demand. So, even though students are now more acquainted with TOEFL and its sections for studying abroad or just participation in international academics. With greater importance attached to the knowledge of English and standardized language assessment, still few senior high school students know about TOEFL in relation to their future educational aspirations. Through some preliminary observations and informal interviews, students who have not yet absorbed it before the program is implemented in SMAN 4 Pematangsiantar are said to be never received formal information about TOEFL.
