This study explores the integration of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) strategies into digital lecture platforms to support a hybrid learning model aimed at enhancing students' reading comprehension and engagement in English language classrooms. Adopting a mixed-methods design, the research involved reading comprehension assessments, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations with English language learners. Results revealed a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension, as demonstrated by increased post-test scores compared to pre-test results. Qualitative data also indicated notable gains in student motivation and participation, particularly among previously passive learners. However, the study identified several challenges, such as technical limitations that disrupted the smooth implementation of digital CSR activities. Despite these barriers, the integration of CSR with digital tools successfully fostered a student-centered and innovative learning environment. The findings suggest that CSR, when supported by appropriate technology, can bridge the gap between traditional and modern instructional practices offering a more interactive and effective reading experience. This study highlights the value of digital reading strategies in promoting long-term literacy development and adaptability. It further encourages educators especially those in rural or under-resourced areas to adopt creative, tech-supported methods to improve reading outcomes.
