The main problem faced by the students was their limited vocabulary and lack of confidence in using it actively. The subjects of the study were 20 fifth-grade students. The instruments used included vocabulary tests, observation sheets, documentation of the learning process, and teaching media in the form of Cuisenaire Rods to support the implementation of the Silent Way method. The results showed that the Silent Way method with the help of Cuisenaire Rods was quite helpful in enabling students to recognize and remember the vocabulary taught. However, the effectiveness of this method was hindered by the minimal verbal interaction during the learning process, as the teacher relied solely on gestures and visual aids without much spoken explanation. This caused confusion among several students in understanding the context of vocabulary usage. Therefore, the Silent Way method is not fully effective for vocabulary instruction at the elementary school level without adequate verbal support and adjustments.</p> Femy Chandra Winata Ribby Violin Sembiring Dhea Natasya Sitepu Herman Herman Copyright (c) 2025 Femy Chandra Winata, Ribby Violin Sembiring, Dhea Natasya Sitepu, Herman Herman http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-09-20 2025-09-20 4 3 136 147 10.32832/amk.v4i3.3026 Tips and Tricks for Answering the TOEFL Test in Listening Skills for Students of SMA Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar https://pkm.uika-bogor.ac.id/index.php/amk/article/view/3027 <p>This community service program (PkM) was conducted on May 3, 2025, at SMA Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar. The activity targeted Grade 11 students in the science program (IPA 1). The main goal was to introduce the students to the concept of TOEFL, explain its importance, and especially focus on the Listening Section. Many students in high schools are still unfamiliar with TOEFL, even though this test is important for those who want to study abroad or apply for scholarships. We designed this program as a three-hour session with a focus on listening skills. We did not use pre-tests or post-tests, but instead we gave one test at the end to check the students' understanding. The activity had three parts: first, a presentation about what TOEFL is, why it is important, and what the Listening Section looks like. Second, we explaithe ned strategies and tips to answer listening questions correctly. Third, we played audio recordings, discussed the questions with the students, and gave them practical advice on how to answer the questions. The result of this activity was very positive. The students became more aware of TOEFL and felt more confident about facing the Listening Section. Even though the activity was only for one day, the students actively participated and understood the basic techniques for listening comprehension. In conclusion, this program was effective in helping students understand and practice TOEFL listening strategies.</p> Yemima Br Pangaribuan Ester Sitorus Chintya Sinambela Silvia S.
