Abstract

Pre-service English teachers are increasingly required to master digital pedagogical skills, yet listening remains one of the most neglected skills to teach due to limited hands-on training with technology-based media. An initial needs assessment revealed that most pre-service teachers at FKIP Universitas Nias had never used any digital platform to design listening materials, highlighting the need for practical training in this area. To respond to this problem, this community service activity aimed to train pre-service teachers in designing extensive listening instruction using the Wordwall Web platform so that their readiness in teaching listening through digital media could be strengthened through hands-on practice. This training-based activity was conducted on May 18, 2026, at FKIP Universitas Nias and involved ten pre-service teachers from the English and Indonesian Education study programs. Data were collected through structured observation during the practice session and a reflective questionnaire administered after the training, then analyzed descriptively. The results showed a clear achievement in participants' competence, with three participants classified as Excellent, five as Very Good, and two as Good in using the platform. The questionnaire further revealed that all participants understood the steps of using Wordwall Web and felt more confident using technology for teaching, while 90% expressed satisfaction with the training and willingness to apply the platform in their future teaching. These findings indicate that the training provided participants with valuable hands-on experience and greater confidence in using Wordwall Web for listening instruction, and is expected to bring a longer-term impact on the quality of listening instruction they will deliver in their future teaching practice. It is recommended that similar training be extended to a wider range of participants and followed up with direct mentoring during teaching practicum.
