“…This finding confirms a previous study revealing that MBA is more innovative, efficient, and thorough than others (Ningsih et al, 2022;Zubanova et al, 2021). In addition, it confirms another study highlighting that flexibility and capability of mobile phones make them valuable tools even for high stakes testing (Lestary, 2020), like university entrance test, national examination, a scholarship selection, or a license to practice a profession.

This qualitative study aims to unveil the junior high school students’ attitude towards Ruanguji mobile-based assessment. It uses an explanatory case study design engaging 225 students in Tangerang, Indonesia as the respondents. To analyze the data got by the questionnaire, the study uses the multi-component model of attitude and one-dimensional perspective. The study reveals that their attitude towards Ruanguji comprises the cognitive, affective, and behavioral components with different degree. For the students, Ruanguji is a supplementary media offering various tests and assignments to help them face the national examination. With the application, they feel convenient to prepare themselves for the examination. If they have chances, they will use it to explore testing materials and assignments. Their attitude is identified as a positive one that impedes the existence of the negative one. Its positivity degree is determined by internal factors, like their perception and emotion; and external factors, like the application’s user-friendliness. In addition, their positive attitude towards the application also contributes to their success in their school’s summative tests and national examination. The result of the study leads to the conclusion that a positive attitude towards the mobile assessment can be a determinant factor of their success in the study.

“…To make their document eligible, the students must fulfill the standard score set by the host institutions. Lestary (2020), in her research, stated that the studies in 2017 by Tracer Study Universitas Indonesia (TSUI) and AFS Global Research Study have indicated that Indonesian youths, in particular, are motivated to be fluent in English for jobs and studying abroad purposes.

Since the IELTS test demands high English proficiency, it has become a challenge for Indonesian learners who are non-native English speakers. IELTS requires a thorough knowledge of English grammar to make the test takers able to gain high scores. The test-takers, who are mostly graduate students from various backgrounds, frequently join IELTS preparation classes. The previous research mainly focused on how teaching grammar is essential for students who want to take IELTS. Yet, the research about developing the syllabus for IELTS preparation classes has not been discussed much in Indonesia, making the information limited. Therefore, developing the syllabus for IELTS-based grammar is critically important since it assists the teacher in fulfilling students’ expectations and increases the student’s understanding of mastering English language skills. The current study aims at developing an IELTS-based syllabus for grammar to equip both students and teachers. The study adopted the developmental research proposed by Borg and Gall (2003). The syllabus was designed based on environment and need analysis obtained through interviews, placement tests, IELTS simulations, and questionnaires. The outcome is a three-part syllabus equipped with various learning activities to motivate and facilitate students to improve their grammar and ability to achieve higher IELTS scores.
