Abstract

The objective of this study was to study the perception of English teachers on the use of technology in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). In order to achieve this goal, three public schools, three private schools and three language institutes were selected. English teachers participated in a 2-hour workshop for using technology to teach English as a foreign language. After using the tools that were explained in the workshop, teachers had to take a survey to determine if they thought that technology had helped them to teach their students and if they thought it was important to organize more workshops to improve their knowledge. It was determined that 100% of teachers are willing to participate in professional development courses and they think it is important to do it but they do not attend those courses because of their work schedule. This research concluded that it is necessary to make some decisions to make the use of technology in class successful.
