Keywords:
technology integration, student engagement, English language teaching, mixed-methods, classroom interactionAbstract
This study investigates the impact of technology integration on student engagement in English language lessons. Using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and classroom observations, the research examines behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement before and after technology-enhanced activities. Results indicate significant improvements in student participation, motivation, and cognitive involvement, highlighting the importance of purposeful technological integration in fostering interactive, learner-centered classrooms. Limitations related to measurement and ceiling effects are acknowledged, and implications for teaching practices and future research are discussed.
