This study aimed to improve digital literacy skills through web-centric course learning for preservice teachers of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University. The method used in this study was a quasi-experiment through a pre-test and a post-test group design. The instrument used in this study was a digital literacy skills test in the Mathematical Profession English course, which was in the form of 20 essay tests. The material tested was the result of learning basic mathematics. In the process of learning mathematics, the preservice mathematics teacher had been introduced to number operations using English as opposed to the usual medium process of learning mathematics in the Indonesian Language. Furthermore, the instrument was tested on 20 preservice mathematics teachers of the said university. The average N-gain result for preservice mathematics teachers was 0.56 which belonged to the moderate category. So, it can be concluded that digital literacy skills in learning mathematics can be improved through the course.
