Technology has been considered an essential element in Malaysia's progression toward its future growth. In the Education Blueprint (2013–2025), the Ministry of Education places a strong emphasis on the necessity of incorporating technology-integrated teaching and learning into the national curriculum system. Meanwhile, because of technological developments, teachers will be able to fulfill the global demand for substituting traditional teaching methods with teaching and learning resources that integrate technology. Currently, in the field of English language teaching, technology-integrated learning always has the most effective results. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of technology-integrated learning in the teaching of simple past tense to Year 3 pupils. The primary objectives of this research project are to compare the effectiveness of teaching the simple past tense to Year 3 pupils using technology-integrated learning versus traditional methods, to assess how well Year 3 pupils grasp the simple past tense after utilizing technology-integrated learning, and to explore how technology-integrated learning enhances Year 3 pupils' interest in learning the simple past tense. The results show that using technology-integrated learning to teach grammar to Year 3 pupils, particularly the simple past tense, is an exceptionally efficient and effective method.
