Abstract

Education has shifted to the digital era. The primary pupils whom known as the alpha generation, grow up with technology, were no longer passive learners. Information and communications technology (ICT) is used as teaching tool in which claims to help in dissemination of learning contents. English language educators play the role to bridge the gap between ICT and English language teaching in order to optimize its benefits in education field. This current study which employs mixed method triangulation design model is intended to (1) enhance the repertoire of vocabulary and (2) reading motivation among primary pupils. A total of 56 respondents were chosen from 3 schools in Song and Mukah. The quantitative data was collected from pre and post tests of reading comprehension achievement test to answer first research question. Quantitative data from semantic differential scale questionnaire which comprises of 20 items was analysed to answer the second research question. It was also justified by qualitative data from semi structured interview. The positive findings from the three instruments showed the effectiveness of Voca- Lens. The innovation of Voca- Lens could be further utilized in the lesson if the availability of devices and internet connection were enhanced.
