TOEFL ITP is one of kinds of TOEFL which is available for academic setting. In TOEFL ITP, there are three sections to be tested, including Listening Comprehension, Structure and Written Expression, and Reading Comprehension (ETS, 2021). From three sections, the students should enhance their competences in order to get better results for TOEFL score.
The TOEFL Preparation class aims at mastering students' English competence, especially three sections in TOEFL. In this class, the students are able to recognize the tricks for each section in the TOEFL test. It could assist them to achieve good results in the TOEFL test. According to Mousavi, Arizavi and Namdari (2014) stated that the TOEFL Preparation exposes the students to the item format TOEFL test, makes the students know to guess the answers, and helps the students to allocate time properly. It means that the TOEFL Preparation class concerns the developing the students' competences in TOEFL mastery.
Since 2020, the Covid-19 virus has spread very fast and has changed human life, including the education system. Due to the pandemic situation, online learning is implemented in Indonesia. Chasanatun and Lestari (2021) stated that the pandemic situation changes the offline into online class. In the online class, the students are inhibited from coming to the school, instead of giving materials and assignment by using online platforms. Moreover, Ahmadi (2020) stated that the use of technology could help to implement online learning to develop the interaction between students and teachers. Lestiyanawati and Widyantoro (2020) stated that to solve the problems in pandemic situations are to discover new regulations for the students and teachers in online learning. It means that the teachers could implement the online platforms to teach materials by using the technological developments although they could not teach directly in the classroom in this pandemic situation.
There are various studies carrying out the importance of online learning in pandemic situations (Fitria, 2020;Lestiyanawati and Widyantoro, 2020;Suputra, 2021). Those studies concern the effectiveness of online learning to study English as well as detailed application Solihah 173 used in teaching and learning process, especially in online learning. Based on those studies, it shows the use of technology during studying English, including Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, YouTube Channel, WhatsApp Group, Google Classroom, and Moodle. Those applications are used by most teachers in Indonesia during pandemic situations as well as those to help the students acknowledge the materials given. It means that the teachers could develop their creativity to teach students by using those application in order to enhance students' competence in learning activities even though there is no face-to face interaction in the classroom. In addition, the online learning by using those applications should be more effective to be implemented in this pandemic situation.
Furthermore, the previous studies are conducted by researchers to examine the effectiveness of certain applications in teaching and learning process, especially in online learning. Those studies examine the use of Zoom and Google Meet as a video conference learning in pandemic situations (Laili & Nashir, 2020;Aswir, Hadi & Dewi, 2021;Safriyanti, 2021). Meanwhile, the studies are carried out to know the use of YouTube Channel in teaching English during pandemic situations (Nasution, 2019;Chasanatun & Lestari, 2021;Indriani, 2021). From those studies mentioned above, the scholars tend to investigate the effectiveness of online platforms, involving Zoom, Google Meet and YouTube Channel in their classroom. The results of those studies show the use of Zoom, Google Meet, and YouTube Channel are beneficial for the teacher and students in pandemic situation. It also enhances the students' competence in some texts, including descriptive and procedure text by using those applications in the online classes.
According to the previous studies above, there is a limited study to compare online learning applications used by teachers in TOEFL Preparation class. The previous studies focus on the use of online applications to develop students' competences in several texts. Therefore, this present study examines the use of online applications in TOEFL Preparation class. The applications are Google Meet and YouTube Channel in TOEFL Preparation Class in pandemic situations. For this study, it concerns the Structure and Written Expression Section as the students' competence in structural and grammatical sections in standard written English (ETS, 2021). This section is expected to be the most difficult section for university students according to the students' questionnaires results. In addition, questionnaires results show that the university students are difficult to complete the test of structure and written expression in TOEFL section. It means that the students should give more comprehension and materials about structure and written expression sections. Therefore, this study would implement two online learning applications, involving Google Meet and YouTube Channel to delivering structure and written expression materials. After implementing those applications, this study investigates the students' perception on the use of Google Meet and YouTube Channel in TOEFL Preparation Class, especially Structure and Written Expression Section during pandemic situations.

Discussion
Google Meet and YouTube Channel were implemented by the lecturer in online learning during the pandemic situation. According to the questionnaire and interview results above, it shows the students' perception on using Google Meet and YouTube Channel whether it was positive or negative.
Google Meet provides video conference consisting of face-to-face interaction between students and lecturers (Rahayu, 2020;Baber, 2020;Pratama et al., 2020). It is very useful for the students and lecturer to learn English, especially grammar mastery. Due to the difficulty level of grammar mastery, face-to face interaction could be a good way for the lecturer to implement this medium of learning. Based on the questionnaire and interview results, the students assumed that Google Meet is an effective media to comprehend Structure and Written Expression materials. Moreover, they felt very comfortable using Google Meet due to the fact that they could interact with the lecturer. It motivates them to be active to ask material directly by using Google Meet. These findings are reported in other studies (Naserly, 2020;Laili & Nashir, 2020;Safriyanti, 2021;Aswir, Hadi & Dewi, 2021). Those studies indicate that by using Google Meet eases the students to interact with the lecturer in the online learning. It assists the students to comprehend the material given. Meanwhile, the students claimed that the bad connection is the obstacle during the use of Google Meet in online learning. This finding is in line with the studies by Permatasari (2018), Laili and Nashir (2020), and Safriyanti (2021). Those studies argue that the signal is the biggest problem during using Google Meet in the learning process. It made the students misunderstand the material given when they were out of the Google Meet room. The lecturer should minimize this problem by determining the students' connection, so that all students could understand what the materials were given.
Furthermore, the use of YouTube Channel was also useful for the students in learning English (Ghasemi, Hashemi, & Bardine, 2011;Almurashi, 2016;Indriani, 2021). Based on the questionnaire and interview results, YouTube Channel is an effective way to learn Structure and Written Expression. Moreover, the material from YouTube Channel could be replayed more than twice to comprehend the material. It made the students develop their interests and motivation to learn Structure and Written Expression. These findings are in line with the studies by Nasution (2019), Alwehaibi (2015), Watkin and Wilkins (2011), Riswandi (2016). It means that YouTube Channel could help the students comprehend the Structure and Written Expression materials by displaying the learning video from YouTube Channel. This caused them to display more than once while learning Structure and Written Expression materials. It developed their desires of learning Structure and Written Expression materials by videos. Meanwhile, they felt it difficult to ask directly to the lecturer because there is no interaction between lecturer and students while using YouTube Channel. The students could learn by themselves by displaying the learning videos. This finding is in line with the studies by Buzzetto (2014) and Nasution (2019). It indicates that the students could easily access the videos from YouTube Channel to understand the materials given.

Conclusion
Based on the questionnaire and interview results, the use of Google Meet and YouTube Channel are considered as the effective media to learn English materials, especially Structure and Written Expression Section in TOEFL Preparation Class. Those applications are useful for the students to master the structural and grammatical materials relating to the TOEFL tests. Google Meet makes the students be active to ask the materials directly during the learning process, while bad connection is the obstacle in online learning. YouTube Channel motivates the students to easily access the video relating to the materials given. Due to the fact that there is no interaction between lecturer and students, the students could learn by themselves to comprehend the materials. In short, the use of Google Meet and YouTube Channel have become an alternative way to teach English in a pandemic situation. The lecturer should determine the best medium of online teaching, so that the students could understand and comprehend the materials given. For the future study, the researcher can investigate another medium of online learning in any situation.
