Abstract
This paper examines the implementation of technology enhanced learning which is based on digital resources and its benefits specifically in a reading course at an English prep school. The paper describes the findings that contribute to the impact of technology tailored teaching on students’ learning. Positive impacts are evident if the lesson is carefully planned, structured and integrated. In particular, it provides that there is a direct relationship between the way lessons are presented with the use of digital resources, and the progress students showed during a limited period of time. By no means, technology guarantees significant change in the students’ progress in learning English. This study employed a structured questionnaire, classroom observations, and student interviews to examine the impact of technology tailored teaching. The results indicated that as the level and length of time digital teaching increases, students’ attitudes towards the lessons show more positive results. The data collected in this study support the idea that technology combined with effective instruction can show positive results for students and teachers. However, although the data are promising, they are preliminary.
