Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology in education has significantly transformed English language learning, particularly in writing instruction. However, pre-service teachers still face limitations in effectively integrating technology into classroom practices. This community service activity is aimed at enhancing pre-service teachers’ understanding and skills in using Wayground Web as a digital learning platform to supported controlled sentence construction in writing instruction. This community service activity involved ten pre-service teachers from Universitas Nias and was carried out through several stages, including platform introduction, guided practice, learning activity implementation, and evaluation of the activity outcomes. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, documentation, and video recordings. Observation results showed that the participants were able to use Wayground Web effectively in designing and implementing learning activities.Seven out of ten participants achieved Excellent and Very Good performance levels based on the observation results. Questionnaire findings also indicated positive responses, increased confidence, and better understanding of technology integration in teaching. Despite minor technical challenges such as login difficulties and limited prior experience, all participants successfully completed the activity. In conclusion, Wayground Web is an effective learning platform for supporting controlled sentence construction and contributes to the development of both pedagogical and technological competencies among pre-service teachers.
