Pre-Service Teachers’ Perceptions and Attitudes toward Implementing Multimedia and ICT in English Language Instruction

The purpose of this study is to describe the pre-service teachers’ views and attitudes toward implementing information and communication technology (ICT) in English language instruction. In the context of constant advances in ICT and its influence on English language education, this study explored the impact of integrating instructional technology into pre-service secondary school teacher education. This study first investigated whether pre-service teachers recognized multimedia-assisted English language instruction effective or satisfactory for their own learning experience. Then this study identified their perceptions and attitudes about implementing multimedia-assisted English language instruction for their future teaching career. Pre-service teachers of this study responded that multimedia-assisted English language learning experience was both amusing and effective for their English language learning. They also stated that they would willingly integrate technology into their future English language teaching. Then they suggested that further various courses should be provided to fully develop their confidence in using technology in their future English language classrooms.
