        abstract = {The integration of digital technology into school education necessitates pedagogically sound instructional strategies that support learners effectively. The present study examined the effectiveness of techno-scaffolding in teaching English to IX standard students and explored its relationship with students’ techno-adaptability. A quasi-experimental single-group pre-test–post-test design was adopted. The sample comprised 60 IX standard slow learners selected through criterion-based purposive sampling from Government and Government-Aided schools in Chidambaram Taluk, Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu. The tools used were an Achievement Test in English and a Techno-Adaptability Scale. Statistical analyses included t-test, gain ratio, effect size, and Pearson’s correlation. The findings revealed a significant improvement in achievement in English after the techno-scaffolding intervention, with a high gain ratio and extremely large effect size. Significant positive relationships were found between achievement in English and techno-adaptability and its dimensions. The study concludes that techno-scaffolding is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing English achievement, particularly when learners possess adequate techno-adaptability.},
