Jul Asfi Waraihan, Irwandi Irwandi

Abstract


Technology is being used in education increasingly, providing creative alternatives to conventional teaching techniques. The application of Word Coach Google Webs as a tool for teaching reading abilities is examined in this study. The study's mixed-method technique was selected as the most appropriate way to thoroughly examine the efficacy of using Word Coach Google Webs for reading reading. Thirty second-semester English Education program students were chosen as participants. Open-ended surveys, pre- and post-tests, and observation were the methods used to gather the data. The importance of these findings in the context of teaching reading skills is discussed, emphasizing Word Coach Google Webs' potential as a useful teaching tool. Future research directions and the study's limitations are also covered. In the end, this study adds to the expanding corpus of research on technology-enhanced learning and provides guidance to teachers looking for efficient ways to teach reading. This study emphasizes the value of digital storytelling tools like these in raising student proficiency in reading comprehension and offers insightful information about their real-world applications. Students responded positively to the inclusion of Word Coach Google as a learning media.
