- Abstract
The use of technology has become an influential part in language teaching and learning. The emergence of industrial revolution 4.0 era asks the language teachers to explore the use of technology in exploring language teaching. This qualitative study aims at revealing the language teachers readiness and willingness in using digital technology in their language learning classroom. There were twenty language teachers (ten English teachers and ten Indonesian language teachers) participated as subject of the study. The data was collected through semi-structured interview. The result shows that 65% language teachers had used digital technology in teaching, but 35% language teachers used traditional way in teaching (not using technology in language teaching and learning). Moreover, the data finding also reveals the teachers’ obstacles in using technology in language teaching classroom such as limited school’s digital technology facilities, time-consumed preparation in using digital technology, and teachers’ technology illiterate. These facts come to the conclusion that language teachers need more attention from government to realize the digital technology based-language class.
