Abstract

Why is the TOEFL score requirement for a Master’s degree and undergraduate degree students of English Education University of Mataram the same? This study aimed at measuring the understanding of the literal and pragmatic meaning of the Pre-TOEFL listening by the undergraduate and the master’s degrees students of the English Education. This mixed-methods research involved 32 undergraduate and postgraduate students of English respectively. Data were collected with Pre-TOEFL Listening Short Conversations, Questionnaire, and Interview. Data were analyzed with Criteria of achievement standards, Two-way ANOVA, and Iterative Qualitative Analysis. It shows: 1) The level of understanding of both the undergraduate students’ and the master’s degree students’ literal meaning of pragmatic-related expressions in TOEFL Listening is 'High'; 2) The level of understanding of both the undergraduate students’ and the master’s degree students’ pragmatic meaning of pragmatic-related expressions in TOEFL Listening is 'Low'; 3) There is a significant correlation between the literal meaning and pragmatic meaning understanding by both undergraduate and graduate students; 4) There is a significant difference in understanding the pragmatic meanings between the undergraduate English students and the Master’s English students. The significance of the means difference: 1) For undergraduate students, understanding literal meaning is higher than understanding pragmatic meaning; 2) For the Master’s degree students, literal meaning understanding is higher than pragmatic meaning understanding; 3) Undergraduate students’ understanding of the literal meaning is lower than the master’s degree students’ literal meaning understanding; 4) Undergraduate students’ understanding of the pragmatic meaning is lower than that of the master’s degree students’; 5) Thus, regarding both literal and pragmatic meanings, master’s degree students understanding is higher than that of undergraduate students. Factors that influence both the undergraduate and the master’s degree students understanding of the pragmatic meaning include low vocabulary mastery and lack of understanding of idioms and translation skills; and those experienced only by the undergraduate students involve not understanding the context, contents/topic, the speaker meanings; differences of pragmatic meanings and literal meanings, and polysemy and ambiguous words; and the other one particularly experienced by the master’s degree students is the difficulty in understanding the meaning of phrases.
