Abstract

English Language learners in Nigeria mostly find Oral English difficult to understand but technology is now supportive. However, being a dynamic language, the English Language is constantly evolving and so are the technologies used in its teaching. This study, therefore, intends to re-examine teachers’ current perceptions towards technology usage in teaching Oral English. The study was descriptive. The sample comprised 215 teachers to whom an instrument titled “Teachers’ Current Perceptions of Teaching Oral English through Technology Questionnaire (TCPTOETQ)”, was administered. Six research questions were formulated and answered using Mean, Standard Deviation, One-Way ANOVA, and t-test. The result showed that the teachers currently have positive perceptions towards the use of technologies in teaching Oral English. It was therefore recommended that stakeholders in education provide continuous training for English Language teachers for continuous adaptation to the changing landscapes of technology usage in teaching Oral English.
