Digital Contents in Language Teaching: Insights from English Language Teachers

Abstract

This study aims to determine English teachers’ views on the use of digital content in language teaching. For this purpose, the descriptive survey model, one of the quantitative research designs, was employed. The study was conducted during the second semester of the 2023–2024 academic year with English teachers working at primary and secondary schools located in the central districts of Diyarbakır. The research population consisted of 763 English teachers employed in primary and secondary schools across the central districts of Diyarbakır. The sample of the study comprised 261 English teachers, selected through a simple random sampling method. To collect data, the Digital Content Questionnaire for English Teachers, developed by the researchers, was used. For data analysis, descriptive statistical techniques such as frequencies and percentages were applied along with the chi-square test to examine relationships between variables. Additionally, a thematic content analysis was conducted to analyze responses to open-ended questions, as it was necessary to standardize and compare textual data. The findings revealed that English teachers consider digital content effective in language teaching, emphasizing its role in enhancing students’ language skills and increasing learning motivation.
