Samira Nikian, Faizah Mohamad Nor and Marzila A. Aziz
Introduction
Technology is only a tool;
it allows us to develop dialogue
and interaction, but is a means,
not an end in and of itself.
-
The latest studies on the use of technology for teaching and learning shows promising results for teachers, students and education.
Importance of the Study
Previous research has shown that
using technology improves
the learning experience and students’
academic performance.
By integrating technology into the curriculum, education practises will be improved and teachers will be able to expound upon the textbook and prepare more authentic and student-centred classroom learning materials.
-
Many schools provide technology in classroom to create more academic opportunities for students academic development and growth.
Classroom Technology Use
-
The results of their study show that teachers are more pessimistic about using technology in the classroom because of the lack of training needed in applying technology.

Methodology

Freeman, 1992; Richardson, 1996 ).

Conclusions
Teachers of English, are very familiar with the use
of ICT and have no qualms with implementing technology in the classroom.
The only drawbacks they have in using technology would be the lack of computers, insufficient time in preparing technology-based lesson and the lack of technical support
Constrains faced - teachers were motivated in undergoing more training in the use of technology in the classroom and were in general, positive towards the use of computer in education.
Analysing Data
-
It involves consolidating,
reducing, and interpreting what people have said and what the researcher has seen and read.
Data analysis is the process of organizing
and sorting data in light of increasingly sophisticated judgments and interpretations
The purpose of data analysis is to locate crucial meanings,
patterns, and themes within what the researcher
has extracted as the theme through the questionnaire
