Abstract

This study employed a case study method within a qualitative research framework, data were collected through teacher interview, classroom observation, and documentation of 50% of students’ reading assignments. The findings revealed that the teacher integrated ICT tools, such as laptop, speaker, projector, applications like Kahoot! and interactive videos, to create engaging and interactive learning experiences. The integration process was adaptive, aligned with the materials’ needs to enhance student interest and comprehension. The study identified positive impacts, including improved student focus, engagement, vocabulary identification, and reading comprehension.

These strategies aimed to create a more dynamic, and effective learning environment for vocational school students, ultimately enhancing reading instruction outcomes.
