Abstract

Conclusion. The combination of CLT, ESP, ITA support, and technology-assisted learning proved to be effective, significantly improving in language performance and workplace competencies, particularly for lower-performing students. This integrated approach positively impacted English proficiency and essential workplace competencies, making a strong case for its wider adoption in globalized and technology-driven academic and professional settings.
