Özet:

This study investigated how English language teachers perceived and used 21st – century learning and innovation skills in their classrooms. Data were collected both in qualitative and quantitative methods and an exploratory case study was employed. The convenience sampling method was used and 105 voluntary teachers of English participated in the questionnaire. To support the quantitative data, 10 English language teachers were interviewed and they completed a KWLA chart after attending a seminar regarding the research. Then, following conducting their session, they were expected to create lesson plans that included 21st – century skills and reflection reports. Results demonstrated that the participants in this study are aware of 21st – century skills and their importance in English language learning and teaching. Although they are aware of them, they nevertheless require assistance from their managers and the government. Their understanding of how and when to use these skills needs to be improved, along with their horizons.
