The research involved 60 vocational students and 3 English lecturers who actively use Edlink in teaching and learning. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to evaluate students’ learning outcomes, teaching effectiveness, and overall satisfaction with the platform. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics via SPSS, revealing that 75% of students perceived a positive impact of Edlink on their English proficiency, with a statistically significant improvement in student performance (t = 3.45, p = 0.002). Qualitative findings from interviews indicated that students appreciated Edlink’s flexibility and ease of access, although technical limitations and inconsistent usage behavior were noted. Lecturers reported improved instructional management but emphasized the need for better system integration and training. Overall, the study concludes that Edlink contributes positively to ELT quality but requires continuous improvement and institutional support to maximize its potential in vocational education. Keywords: Edlink, ELT, Vocational Students
