ABSTRACT

In the 21st century, which has entered this digital era, the world of education must respond to educational disruptions that demand the integration of technology in the teaching and learning process, including Language Teaching and Learning (LTL). In Indonesia, being able to utilize technology in the learning process is one indicator of professional teacher competence. For this reason, teachers must be able to integrate technology into the classroom. While the majority of researches focus on the beliefs, practices, difficulties, advantages, and opportunities of teaching using technology, this article surveys how English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ ability in integrating technology into their instruction. The type of research that conducted is qualitative case study. It is because the goal of the research is to define, explain, and establish the technology-based English learning activities and teachers’ roles while integrating technology into EFL classrooms. Two junior high school English teachers who have integrated technology into their classrooms participated in the study as respondents. In the meantime, the data for this study gathered from the lesson plans analysis, interviews and observational data. The results of this research are revealed the information about various technologies that teachers used in teaching that is divided into several categories such as devices, learning platform, learning applications, learning media, Social networking sites and web resources. On the other hand teachers’ technology integration level based on SAMR model showed that the EFL teachers are still at the substitution level. It means that the teachers still use technology assistance to replace traditional materials into digital. Besides that, the teachers also have been classified as being at the second level, namely augmentation. It is because teachers use digital in the classroom to give presentations or exercises through multimedia.
