This research investigates the impact of incorporating technology into English classes on students’ vocabulary ability, specifically through the use of digital flashcards, contextual video clips, and AI-supported collaborative writing tasks, along with associated vocabulary lists. The study involved 216 ninth-grade students over an eight-week period during the spring semester of 2024. Both pre-and post-tests were conducted to measure the effectiveness of the technology-integrated instruction versus traditional methods, which typically involved teacher-led lectures and physical textbooks. Additionally, surveys were administered before and after the experiment to determine if there were any significant changes in the perception of students towards learning English vocabulary and writing skills. Further qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with 16 participants to identify the advantages and drawbacks of using digital technologies in education. The statistical analysis using paired t-tests of vocabulary revealed significant progress in both the experimental and control groups, though no notable differences were found between the two. However, the survey results showed an improvement in the attitudes of the experimental group with regard to their vocabulary and writing classes. Interviews indicated that students particularly enjoyed engaging in game-based learning activities such as Quizlet Live and collaborative writing exercises. These results imply that while technological tools can boost student engagement and collaborative learning, educators need to carefully manage potential issues such as video pacing and minimizing distractions or over-reliance on AI tools.
