Abstract

This TOEFL English language training aims to improve the English language skills of community service participants whose activities are carried out on the Nursing Department campus. TOEFL English training has a very important role because mastering TOEFL well will make it easier for us to find work or apply for scholarships that require an official TOEFL certificate.

The method used in this community service report is Communicative Language Teaching in Secondary Level, which is the teaching method used in TOEFL English training.
