Abstract :This exploratory study investigated the effectiveness of technology and content integration in a foreign language class in a vocational high school with a total of 41 students. The experimental group received technology-enhanced content integrated instruction, designed specifically for learning needs based on scaffolding design guidelines for educational software. The control group followed the regular textbook. In addition to scaffolding e-books developed for the study, freely available web-based and augmented reality applications were employed. The results showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in content tests, one of the language tests, and a writing task. No significant difference was observed between the groups in the general language test, but within group comparisons showed significant increased for the experimental group for sub-test scores. Recommendations are offered for the teachers, researchers, and policy makers seeking solutions for the low foreign language achievement in vocational high schools.
