This exploratory study investigated the effectiveness of technology andcontent integration in a foreign language class in a vocational highschool with a total of 41 students. The experimental group receivedtechnology-enhanced content integrated instruction, designedspecifically for learning needs based on scaffolding design guidelinesfor educational software. The control group followed the regulartextbook. In addition to scaffolding e-books developed for the study,freely available web-based and augmented reality applications wereemployed. The results showed that the experimental groupsignificantly outperformed the control group in content tests, one of thelanguage tests, and a writing task. No significant difference wasobserved between the groups in the general language test, but withingroup comparisons showed significant increased for the experimentalgroup for sub-test scores. Recommendations are offered for theteachers, researchers, and policy makers seeking solutions for the lowforeign language achievement in vocational high schools.
