Literacy and numeracy development are two important components in education that help individuals acquire the skills of reading, writing, understanding information, as well as abilities in mathematics and understanding numbers. These two skills are the basis for success in various aspects of life, including further education, career, and active participation in society. It is important to create an educational environment that supports literacy and numeracy development. The method for implementing community service activities went through several stages, namely pre-preparation, preparation, implementation and closing. Teachers have a key role in teaching and guiding students to develop these skills. In addition, the integration of literacy and numeracy in various subjects and activities outside the classroom helps link these skills to real life. Thus, developing literacy and numeracy is a continuous process that involves collaboration between schools, families and communities to create individuals who have a strong foundation of skills for success in life. Evaluation of activity implementation and sustainability is planned to involve the Almuslim University Research and Community Service Institute. The evaluation carried out by the community service team is the extent to which coaching and mentoring activities for students have had a good impact.

Objective: This study aimed to enhance L2 learners' reading comprehension by integrating Nearpod media into the teaching strategy at Universitas Almuslim. The main goal was to evaluate the effectiveness of this technology-based learning in boosting L2 reading comprehension. Method: A pre-experimental research design was employed in this study, in which the L2 learners at Universitas Almuslim were grouped without a control group for comparison. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted using the Nearpod platform to assess the L2 learners' reading comprehension skills. The data acquired from the pre-test and post-test were quantitatively analyzed with SPSS Statistics Output to determine whether or not there was a significant difference when using the Nearpod media in class. Results: The outcomes revealed a significant difference in the L2 reading comprehension when exposed to Nearpod. It showed that the post-test reading comprehension mean score was higher than the pre-test mean score. Thus, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, whereas the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Novelty: By integrating technology into the classroom, this study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on effective strategies for language learning. The findings emphasize the potential of Nearpod media to engage and empower L2 learners, providing a novel and prospective option for boosting language teaching, particularly in reading comprehension.
