Keywords:
MLM-24; TOEFL; SDG 4; quality educationAbstract
The low ability of students in answering TOEFL questions is the background of this study. Based on the background, this study aims to apply the MLM-24 to investigate the effectiveness of the learning model in improving students' TOEFL skills and assessing its relevance to SDGs 4 on quality education. This research method uses a mixed method, namely (1) quantitative data obtained using a test instrument and a Linkert scale questionnaire. Test data (pretest and post-test) were obtained after implementing a quasi-experiment with a non equivalent control group design while the questionnaire results were collected to support the test results and (2) qualitative data obtained by semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests for significance testing, and thematic analysis for interview data. The results showed that the applying of the MLM-24 significantly improved students' TOEFL scores compared to conventional methods. Participants in the experimental group showed increased engagement, motivation, and understanding of TOEFL components. In addition, this model supports the principles of SDGs 4 by presenting inclusive, participatory, and skills-oriented learning. In conclusion, MLM-24has proven effective in improving students' TOEFL skills and contributing to SDG 4, namely quality education
