The activity targeted Grade 11 students in the science program (IPA 1) . The main goal was to introduce the students to the concept of TOEFL, explain its importance, and especially focus on the Listening Section. Many students in high schools are still unfamiliar with TOEFL, even though this test is important for those who want to study abroad or apply for scholarships. We designed this program as a three-hour session with a focus on listening skills. We did not use pre-tests or post-tests, but instead we gave one test at the end to check the students' understanding. The activity had three parts: first, a presentation about what TOEFL is, why it is important, and what the Listening Section looks like. Second, we explaithened strategies and tips to answer listening questions correctly. Third, we played audio recordings, discussed the questions with the students, and gave them practical advice on how to answer the questions. The result of this activity was very positive. The students became more aware of TOEFL and felt more confident about facing the Listening Section. Even though the activity was only for one day, the students actively participated and understood the basic techniques for listening comprehension. In conclusion, this program was effective in helping students understand and practice TOEFL listening strategies.\u003Cbr>This is an open access article under the CC BY-SA license.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>ABSTRACT |\n| Ester Sitorus\u003Cbr>Universitas HKBP Nommensen Pematangsiantar\u003Cbr>Email: [estersitorusuhkbpnp@gmail.com](estersitorusuhkbpnp@gmail.com) |  |\n| INTRODUCTION\u003Cbr>This community service program successfully introduced TOEFL and the Listening section to grade XI IPA 1 students at SMA Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar.
