Systematic Review of Research Conducted on the Techno-Pedagogical Content Knowledge of English Teachers

Öz

This study is a systematic review of research on the databases of Web of Science, and Springer between the years 2012 and 2022 on the subject of the development of English teacher techno-pedagogical content knowledge. For the study group, the key concepts “the English teachers’ technological pedagogical knowledge”, “English teacher & technology”, “EFL & technology”, “ESL & technology”, “TPACK (technological pedagogical content knowledge)”, “English teaching & technology” were used to search on databases. The study group was formed with a total of 36 articles. In data analysis, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) was used from topic modeling methods. As a result of LDA, four topics were created: “teachers’ self-efficacy in technology integration”, “instructional challenges in higher education institutions”, “pre-service teachers' approaches to the implementations of information and communication technologies” and “teachers' professional development in Teaching English as a Foreign Language”. Accordingly, the need for TPACK for English teachers and teaching English, technology-based transformation and opportunities in English curriculums caused by TPACK, differences in teaching principles and methods of English brought out by TPACK, diversification of technology of teaching and materials, including TPACK in pre-service and in-service professional development curriculum, other qualifications of teachers such as thinking skills are some distinctive trends.
