Abstract:

“Teachers play a pivotal role in designing lessons, choosing and selecting suitable technology tools to engage students in various types of authentic tasks and problem solving activities essential for their lifelong skills. In integrating technology into their lessons, teachers are required to have technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK). Despite the growing number of studies in technology integration, not much has been done to specifically investigate how professional development program supports teachers to acquire this knowledge. This study sought to examine the extent to which a Technology-Supported English Language Teaching Professional Development (TSELT PD) program can support an English teacher’s TPACK, and how the teacher selects a repertoire of technology suitable for her classroom practices. This research shows a preliminary result on the impact of TSELT PD program to support teachers in designing technology-integrated English lessons. Research questions were addressed through lesson design activities and teacher’s lesson plan. The study demonstrated that having involved in a TSELT PD Program, the teacher’s TPACK were reflected on her lesson plan through her ability to align the selection of technology with her curriculum goals, use the technology to support instructional strategies, and select technology tools compatible with the curriculum goals.”
