The Use of the Internet and Web 2.0 Tools among EFL Instructors
Öz
In language learning and teaching, the Internet and Web 2.0 tools present resources and opportunities for both students and teachers mainly because of these tools’ communicative potentials. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of the Internet and Web 2.0 tools among EFL instructors and examine their perceptions in respect to the use of the Internet and Web 2.0 tools for teaching purposes. Data was gathered via a questionnaire developed in cognisance of the related literature and of expert opinion. The questionnaire was distributed on-line to EFL instructors (n=112) at various universities in Turkey. The resulting data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0 and reported employing descriptive statistics, frequencies, means, percentages and standard deviations. The results showed that EFL instructors had positive attitudes towards the use of the Internet and Web 2.0 tools. Although they had positive thoughts concerning Web 2.0 tools, they were not using these tools in a sufficient manner in their teaching and were not pleased with the degree of opportunity their schools gave them to learn about the Internet.
