Abstract

Technology is becoming increasingly integrated into teaching environments in terms of enhancing students’ engagement and facilitating teaching. Technology as one of the important tools in helping the success of 21st-century learning requires students to use it appropriately in accessing information. Equally important is that teachers are expected to be more adept at empowering technology in classroom learning. This paper reveals the results of a study investigating EFL teachers’ computer and internet use as an aid to teaching and their reasons for integrating or ignoring technology use when teaching. This study involved 50 English teachers who teach in Junior (JHS) and senior high schools (SHS) in one province in Indonesia. The data were collected through questionnaires containing statements related to the teachers’ computer and the internet use in teaching and follow-up Focus Group Interviews (FGI) to explore their reasons for integrating or ignoring the technology use when teaching. Conclusions and suggestions are then presented for EFL teaching using technology and further research as well.
