Abstract

The rapid development of educational technology requires pre-service English teachers to possess digital pedagogical competencies that support the implementation of technology-enhanced learning. However, many students are still unfamiliar with digital learning platforms such as BookWidgets and have limited experience in designing integrated English language learning activities. This community service program aimed to introduce the BookWidgets platform and improve participants' ability to develop integrated English learning activities involving reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. The program was conducted on June 8, 2026, involving ten students from the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Nias. The implementation consisted of platform demonstrations, guided hands-on practice, observation, documentation, and evaluation through a post-training questionnaire. The findings showed that most participants successfully designed integrated language learning activities using BookWidgets for English language teaching. Although several technical challenges, including unstable internet connectivity and Gmail account access issues, were encountered, these obstacles were successfully addressed through direct facilitation and continuous guidance. The program demonstrates that practical training using BookWidgets effectively strengthens the digital pedagogical competence of pre-service English teachers and supports the integration of technology into English language teaching.

Abstract

Laju Village, Langgudu District, Bima Regency, is one of the major maize-producing areas in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. However, maize harvest residues, including stalks, leaves, and husks, remain largely underutilized, while dried maize kernels are generally sold without further processing, resulting in relatively low economic returns for farmers. This community service program aimed to improve the income and self-reliance of maize farmers through the implementation of two appropriate technologies: the production of silage from maize harvest residues as livestock feed and the processing of maize kernels into maize flour as a value-added product. The program was implemented through four stages: an initial survey and socialization, theoretical and hands-on training on silage and maize flour production, one month of technical mentoring, and program evaluation using pre-test and post-test assessments. The program involved members of a maize farmer group in Laju Village. The results showed a substantial improvement in participants' knowledge and technical skills, with an average knowledge increase of 89.6% following the training. Participants successfully produced high-quality silage (pH 4.2) and maize flour with a yield of 82.5%, demonstrating the feasibility of both technologies at the community level. The integration of these two technologies increased the economic value of both maize harvest residues and maize kernels while reducing dependence on conventional livestock feed and the sale of unprocessed maize. Overall, this dual-technology approach proved to be an effective community empowerment model based on local agricultural resources, contributing to improved farmer livelihoods and promoting sustainable rural economic development.
