Abstract

English proficiency in the context of digital communication has become an essential skill in the era of globalization, including for the managers of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes). This community service program aims to enhance the English digital communication competence of BUMDes Purworejo managers in Pesawaran Regency, Lampung, in order to support the promotion of the village’s superior products through social media. Based on preliminary observations, there are still limitations in practical English skills and the professional use of social media. Through an English for Specific Purposes (ESP)-based training approach, participants were equipped with skills in creating English promotional content, captioning techniques, storytelling, and the introduction of commonly used digital marketing terminology. This activity is expected to improve the digital branding capacity of BUMDes, expand market reach, and strengthen the competitiveness of local village products. Moreover, the program contributes to the development of applied English studies in the field of digital business communication and community empowerment through language and technology literacy.
