Abstract:

The use of information technology has brought about a great improvement in the field of teaching and learning English which enables the users to study independently, and get instant feedback and correction. The purpose of this study was to explore the teacher’s attitude toward the use of information technology in learning English as a foreign language (EFL) through Technology acceptance model (TAM). The quantitative research design was used to achieve the objective of the study. A sample of 100 English language teachers was selected through multistage sampling technique. The TAM model was validated by using hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed perceived ease of using IT mediated through perceived usefulness of IT in teaching EFL significantly affect the attitude towards IT in teaching EFL (Total effect = 0.357, p < 0.001). However, the direct effect of perceived ease of use was found non-significant in this mediation. Government, institutions, and language labs should be developed properly in public universities so that students may learn to operate technological tools for their assistance in teaching EFL.
