Abstract

Test of English as a Foreign Language or TOEFL, one of the requirements for scholarship and for applying for a job in Indonesia, has become the most challenging prerequisite for several reasons. Firstly, it is not easy for those whose academic field of specialization is non-English. It is common that one should take more than one test to achieve the expected score. Secondly, the TOEFL test costs approximately $40 in Indonesia. It does not seem much expensive yet the retaking of the test will be financially burdensome. These reasons surely take much effort for the test takers. Thirdly, ETS-standard TOEFL test is only conducted by institutions in big cities. However, not all test takers live in the cities where those institutions are. Developed in 2015 by Budi Waluyo, Sekolah TOEFL is designed as a platform to break the limits between the distance and the necessity to learn English. It is a distance when one is not able to find and fund an appropriate course for his or her need. Sekolah TOEFL is used online and can be freely accessed by everyone without limits. This article will review how SEKOLAH TOEFL integrates technology and online learning resources in ELT to deal with some stated issues faced by TOEFL test takers in Indonesia
