This study uses a qualitative approach with an analysis unit of students who participate in technology-based English learning in various schools in Indonesia. The research design used is a case study with the main data sources obtained through in-depth interviews with English teachers, students, and principals, as well as analysis of relevant curriculum documents. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and document studies to gain an in-depth view of the changes that are taking place in digital-based English learning. The data were analysed using thematic analysis techniques to identify key themes related to digital education changes and their impact on students' language skills. The research findings show that digital education, which involves the use of learning apps and interactive platforms, significantly improves students' speaking and listening skills. The contribution of this research is to provide insight into how the implementation of digital education can strengthen students' English language skills in Indonesian schools, as well as the challenges faced in its implementation.

The government's implementation of the Academic Ability Test (TKA) has shocked some students, particularly because they are unfamiliar with the test questions. This highlights the need for public awareness campaigns regarding the TKA questions, particularly in private schools. This community service initiative aims to provide high school students in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) with an overview of the TKA mathematics exam. The method used in this initiative is drills and discussions, aimed at training and preparing students for the types of questions tested in the TKA. This initiative was attended by five private schools in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and conducted by lecturers and students from the Mathematics Education study program at Alma Ata University. The results of this training indicate that students gained an overview of the TKA mathematics exam questions and learned several strategies for solving them effectively. This initiative is expected to help students become more prepared and confident in facing the TKA in the future.
