Abstract

Technology has growth rapidly from time to time and it has been in an era so-called industrial revolution 4.0. Its growth has impacted many aspects of human life including education. Thus, as lecturers whose students are mostly from millennial generation, we should also apply technology in a class to meet their characteristics which cannot be separated from it. Furthermore, the use of technology in a class can give some benefits, like motivating students and delivering the material in an attractive way. Additionally, to maximize this technology usage, the researchers implemented Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review (SQ3R) teaching strategy in reading class. It was expected to encourage students in reading and using technology in a reading class.
