Abstract

It has been argued that grammar is one of the most difficult aspects to be acquired. Nevertheless, the ability to understand grammar is needed to pass TOEFL ITP (Test of English as a Foreign Language Institutional Testing Program), especially Structure and Written Expressions part. Providing grammar training may help students to master the language. The present study aims to describe a training program conducted to provide strategies which can be used by the participants to ace TOEFL ITP. The participants consist of 12 students of Pesantren Motivasi Indonesia. The results from the questionnaires which were distributed after the event showed that most participants are satisfied with the training and hoped for next trainings which can improve their grammatical knowledge, especially ones that may help them getting better scores in TOEFL ITP or other English tests.
