📝 Abstract
The integration of digital tools into English as a Second Language (ESL) pedagogy has reshaped traditional classroom practices into more interactive and learner-centered environments. This study explores the impact of multimedia resources and online platforms on student engagement, focusing on how these tools influence motivation, comprehension, and participation. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from ESL learners through pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and focus group interviews. Results indicate that the use of videos, interactive applications, and gamified platforms significantly improved vocabulary retention, listening comprehension, and classroom participation. Students expressed higher levels of motivation and found digital tools more engaging than conventional textbooks. However, challenges such as limited access to technology, insufficient teacher training, and disparities in digital literacy were identified. The study emphasizes that successful integration requires balancing technology with traditional pedagogical practices and ensuring sustainable support for teachers and learners. The findings contribute to the growing body of literature on technology-driven ESL pedagogy and provide recommendations for enhancing student-centered learning in diverse educational contexts.
