UTILIZING DIGITAL MEDIA TO ENHANCE STUDENTS’ TOEFL LISTENING SKILLS

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve students’ TOEFL listening skills through the use of digital media. The program involved third-semester students enrolled in the Extensive Listening course at the English Education Department. The service was carried out through several stages: a preliminary needs analysis, implementation of digital media-based listening activities (including TOEFL practice applications, YouTube academic channels, and online audio-based quizzes), and a post-test. The results indicate significant improvement in students’ TOEFL listening performance and increased motivation and engagement in using digital media as a learning tool. These findings demonstrate that digital media can serve as an effective and accessible platform to enhance TOEFL listening preparation among university students.
