Abstract
The purposes of this study were to investigate the use of Technology–Enhanced Language Learning (TELL) embedded with Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) to improve reading ability in job advertisements and promote English learning in an English for Job Applications Course. Participants included 80 undergraduates majoring in General Management from a university in Prathum Thani province. The mixed method of data collection was used by utilizing pre – and post - reading tests for control and experimental groups. A questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were conducted for the experimental group. The findings indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the control and experimental groups. The majority of students explained that TELL and TBLT could enhance their English learning.
