Implementing the digital platforms or interactive applications e.g. Nearpod could get nursing students engaged in a supportive blended learning environment to promote their oral communication skill in English for Specific Purpose (ESP). Hence, the current research aimed at promoting Technological Nursing Institute (TNI) students' EFL oral communication skill and Willingness to Communicate (WTC) through a Nearpod-based program. Participants were the second-year students at the TNI, Beni-Suef Governorate, Egypt, in the first term of the academic year 2023/2024. They were sixty students, and randomly assigned into two groups: experimental (n=30) and control (n=30). Instruments, designed by the researcher, were: 1. a needs analysis questionnaire, 2. an EFL oral communication skills questionnaire, 3. an EFL oral communication pre-posttest, and a rubric to score it, and 4. A "WTC" questionnaire. The pre-posttest experimental/control group design was adopted. This intervention included (20) sessions for ten weeks (90-minutes for one session and two sessions per week). Results showed that the Nearpod-based program promoted the experimental group students' EFL oral communication skill and WTC higher than those of the control group. Implementing interactive applications was recommended in nursing students' programs to assist them to use English for communication in professional settings.
