Effectiveness of the Integration of Tell Me More Courseware in the TOEIC Performance of College Students

Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of the integration of Tell Me More courseware in the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) performance of college students. A sample of 62 students from the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) was chosen wherein their TOEIC pre-test scores during their second year in college and their TOEIC post-test scores during their fourth year were compared in relation with their final grade in the English course where Tell Me More courseware was integrated. Results show that majority of the students have Limited Working Proficiency with the score that ranges from 605 to 780 in their TOEIC pre- and post-tests. However, with the integration of Tell Me More courseware, there is a significant relationship among the TOEIC pre- and post-test scores and final grade in English. Results also reveal that Bachelor of Arts in Communication students have significantly higher reading scores in their post-test than the Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia Arts and Bachelor of Science in Psychology students. To conclude, Tell Me More courseware has a positive effect on the TOEIC performance of college students.
