One of the most important reasons lying behind these alterations has been to prepare the pre-service or in-service teachers to their classroom practices because the children, who are ‘Digital Natives’, are already familiar with all technological devices, and they feel quite comfortable with each changes and innovations in the technology.  And, of course based on those regulations, teachers have been expected to use and integrate the technology in their classrooms. Following these expectations, like this research study, there are some research studies on technology integration. And, the motive behind this research study is to find out the perceptions of Turkish English Language teachers towards technology use and integration. It also asks whether those teachers are aware of the distinction between use and integration of technology for English language teaching. This study tries to find out the factors influencing Turkish English language teachers’ classroom practices in terms of technology use and integration by asking them written interview questions.
