Investigating the relationship between Turkish EFL instructors' attitudes towards the use of web 2.0 tools and their tpack ability level

Technology integration into English Language Teaching (ELT) has become increasingly popular with the recent improvements in education technologies. The present study assessed the Turkish EFL instructors' attitudes towards the use of Web 2.0 tools and their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) ability levels and aimed to explore whether there is a significant relationship between them. Data were collected by quantitative method. The instruments of this study are the Web 2.0 Tools Attitude Questionnaire developed by Christina Karkoulia and TPACK Questionnaire developed by Ali Bostancıoğlu. This correlational study was addressed to 141 in-service EFL instructors in a private university in Ankara, Turkey in the 2021-2022 academic year and 108 instructors responded to the survey. Data were analysed with SPSS v. 26. The findings of this study revealed that there is a significant relationship between EFL instructors' attitudes towards the use of Web 2.0 tools in EFL teaching and their TPACK ability levels. There aren't many studies to explore the relationship between these two variables in the in-service Turkish EFL context, so this study might enlarge the current study by relating in-service EFL instructors' attitudes towards web 2.0 tools and TPACK levels by examining the relationship between them.
