Abstract
Despite increasing efforts to integrate technology in English language education, many practitioners still face challenges in maintaining student engagement, differentiating instruction, and providing timely formative feedback in a diverse classroom setting. This paper explores the integration of Curipod, a digital interactive presentation and lesson design tool, in addressing these pedagogical challenges within the English language classroom. The study outlines how Curipod supports differentiated instruction, fosters student engagement, and facilitates formative assessment through real-time interactive elements such as polls, word clouds, and collaborative boards. English language practitioners reported increased student motivation and active participation, particularly in key areas such as vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension, and collaborative writing activities. Curipod’s ready-made templates, along with its AI-assisted content generation features, enabled teachers to efficiently create personalized, visually engaging, and pedagogically sound lessons tailored to diverse learner profiles and language proficiency levels. Furthermore, the platform’s interactive nature encouraged greater student autonomy and peer-to-peer learning, aligning well with communicative language teaching (CLT) principles. The findings suggest that Curipod can serve as a versatile and impactful digital tool, not only enhancing the effectiveness of English language instruction but also promoting a more dynamic, learner centered, and technologically integrated classroom environment. The paper concludes by recommending broader professional development support for English teachers to fully leverage Curipod’s capabilities in fostering meaningful and inclusive English language learning experiences.
