Abstract

This study examines the implementation of tech-enhanced genre-based instruction in English Language Teaching (ELT), focusing on its effects on student engagement and learning outcomes. Integrating digital tools and online platforms into genre-based pedagogy represents a significant innovation in ELT, offering new ways to interact with textual genres and improve linguistic proficiency. This research adopts a qualitative approach, involving 50 secondary school students and 5 ELT teachers from an urban school in Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and classroom observations to capture the experiences of both teachers and students in depth. The findings reveal that tech-enhanced genre-based instruction improves student engagement and understanding of various text types. Digital tools facilitated immediate feedback, collaborative learning, and access to diverse multimedia resources, thereby enriching the instructional process. However, the study also highlights several challenges, including disparities in technological literacy, limited access to reliable internet and digital devices, and the need for comprehensive professional development for teachers. These results suggest that while technology integration in genre-based instruction holds great promise, it requires careful planning and support to address infrastructural and training needs. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on innovative ELT practices, offering practical insights for educators and policymakers aiming to enhance language teaching through technology. Further research is recommended to explore long-term impacts and scalability of such interventions in diverse educational settings. Keywords: Educational Technology, English Language Teaching (ELT), Genre-Based Instruction, Student Engagement, Tech-Enhanced Learning
