Abstract

This study focuses on EFL teachers’ readiness in using technology in teaching English. According to the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework (Davis, 1989), people’s perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness will lead to the person’s attitude toward using technology. Qualitative case study was carried out to explore EFL teachers’ readiness to use technology in teaching. The data from interview analyzed using thematic analysis. To enrich the data, observation also employed. In this case, teachers’ attitude towards using is almost in the same height and generally low. However, their perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness result are varying. Based on the findings in my study, I found that the teachers feel that technology for learning is very useful for them. However, they feel it is not easy to use and also somewhat those teachers were resistant to accept the existence of technology in teaching. These shows that that the teachers in the school are not ready yet to use technology in teaching English.

Abstract

Self-efficacy beliefs is an important matter especially for teachers to have it as it enables an individual’s will to not give up easily if faced with challenging situations. By having high self-efficacy beliefs, teachers are expected to be able to effectively handle the difficulties they face in their classrooms so that they are able to select teaching methods, technique as well as the materials that will help them in teaching. However, little has been done on exploring specifically about English teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs in teaching reading using technology during the post-pandemic era. This study is done by implementing narrative inquiry which expected to be able to give detailed information about teachers’ personal experience in utilizing technology and how they evaluate their self-efficacy dealing with it. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data obtained. Findings showed that despite implementing technology to increase students’ motivation is a success, it doesn’t apply in increasing students’ achievements. Therefore, to improve students’ achievements the teachers decided to focus on sharpening the students’ basic skills using school textbooks. Moreover, teachers also apply variations in teaching reading by implementing group work.
