Abstract

In the digital era, teachers are required to integrate technology into the learning process to create an effective, interactive, and engaging learning environment for students. The use of digital media such as Wordwall is an innovative solution that supports reading comprehension, especially at the Vocational High School (SMK) level. This study aims to explore the use of Wordwall as a digital medium to support reading comprehension at the Vocational High School (SMK) level. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study involved one English teacher and two eleventh-grade students at a vocational high school in Pekalongan. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The results showed that Wordwall was used by teacher to design various interactive activities, such as Quiz, Match Up, and Spin the Wheel, which not only trained students' literal comprehension but also encouraged critical thinking and active engagement in class. Wordwall was proven to be able to create a more lively and collaborative learning atmosphere. However, teachers also faced several challenges in its implementation, including limited internet connection, premium features that are not accessible in the free version, and students' tendency to cheat. This study concluded that Wordwall is a useful digital medium in supporting learning implementation and supporting reading comprehension. The results of this study have the potential to provide real contributions to the world of education, particularly English language learning in vocational schools, as well as serve as a guide for teachers in developing more innovative teaching methods through the use of digital technology.
