This paper presents the analysis of the self-reported reflections of pre-service English teachers about the use of digital storytelling and its tools in terms of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge. Through the reflection reports of 78 pre-service English teachers and a focus-group interview after implementing a digital storytelling project, the present study investigated the perceptions and reflections of pre-service English teachers regarding the use of digital storytelling to teach English to young learners. The data were analysed through mixed (qualitative and quantitative) methods. The results revealed that pre-service English teachers reflected positive perceptions towards to the use of digital storytelling. Their reflections are significant in terms of the tools to be used for digital storytelling, the viewpoints regarding young learners and the improvement in their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge. The findings should be of interest to teacher education programs in supporting pre-service teachers to integrate technology into language classrooms.

This study was qualitative research design focused on investigating the impeding factors faced by the English teachers in implementing technological pedagogical content knowledge framework in teaching. This study was investigated the interview using voice recorder (handphone) and took 9 English teachers in order to investigate the impeding factors faced by the teachers in implementing technological pedagogical content knowledge framework. The result of the interview data processed by using four analysis from Miles and Huberman (1994), namely data collection, data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing/verification. The result showed that there were two impeding factors faced by the English teachers at senior high schools in Buleleng sub-district in implementing technological pedagogical content knowledge framework in teaching, they were facilities and students’ attitude. However, those could be solved by the teachers through does not using the facilities together in the same time and make the regulation for the students when implementing technology.

Information Communication Technology research reflects the degree of integration of digital tools in language teaching. One of the key aspects to digital technologies is that certain technologies have affordances and constraints when designing technology-based learning activities, resulting in classroom technology practices in teaching languages creating a new research area for practitioners and researchers. The present study investigates English teachers’ technological competences and perceptions of using technology, pedagogy, and content in their language classrooms. A survey was applied to gather information about the use of technological tools, the integration of technology, pedagogy, and content in teaching English as well as knowledge about their components. Results revealed that although teachers applied technology in lessons and had knowledge of digital technology, potential learning activities were often overlooked. Teachers were not sufficiently skilled in technology-related knowledge domain. Since English teachers reported difficulty integrating the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framework to plan technology-rich language instructions skillfully, research outcomes suggest that such a framework is needed in training programs. This affords teachers practical opportunities integrate technology into their classroom teaching practices. Ideally, research findings will uncover pedagogical implications and applications for further research.

This study aims to determine the level of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) proficiency. This type of research is descriptive quantitative research. The instruments used to measure TPACK are in the form of questionnaires and interview questionnaires using a Likert scale with 5 scales. The samples of this study were Electrical Power Installation Engineering (EPIE) teachers at SMK N 6 Malang, totaling 7 people and Autotronic Engineering (AE) teachers at SMK N 6 Malang totaling 6 people. The results of the study are EPIE teachers' TK skills are in very good criteria with an average of 68, while AE teachers' kindergarten skills are in good criteria with an average of 53. EPIE teachers' PK skills are in good criteria with average - an average of 67.3, while the PK skills of AE teachers are in good criteria with an average of 75.2. EPIE teachers' CK skills are in very good criteria with an average of 31, while the CK skills of AE teachers are in very good criteria good with an average of 31. EPIE teachers' TCK skills are in very good criteria with an average of 26, while AE teachers' TCK skills are in good criteria with an average of 22. EPIE teachers' PCK skills are at criteria very good with an average of 57, while the PCK skills of AE teachers are in very good criteria with an average of 56. EPIE teachers' TPK skills are in good criteria with an average of 26.6, while the TPK skills of AE teachers are at good criteria with an average of 26.8. EPIE teachers' TPACK skills are in good criteria with an average of 18.4, while AE teachers' TPACK skills are in good criteria with an average of 18.2.

Before second language writing (SLW) teachers’ digital practices can be supported, their needs must first be understood. To accomplish effective technology-enhanced instruction, SLW teachers must blend their knowledge of composition theory, second language acquisition, and multimodal composition technologies. However, many teachers struggle to do this, which highlights the need for research addressing the cognitive aspects that influence digital instruction. This case study reports on an investigation of three in-service university SLW teachers’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) during a digital reflective portfolio module. Data from an online survey, instructional content, classroom observations, and semistructured interviews were triangulated to uncover the nature of SLW teachers’ TPACK, including which factors supported and constrained their use of technology. Findings suggest that pedagogical content knowledge played a dominant role in how the teachers used technology. The teachers’ TPACK was enhanced by professional beliefs about the importance of multimodality and contextual factors involving institutional support and communities of practice. However, it was constrained by limited self-efficacy and pedagogical beliefs concerning the influence of technology on student learning and student engagement. This study contributes to a growing body of research on how to support language teachers in their digitally mediated practices. Avant de pouvoir soutenir les pratiques numériques des enseignantes et enseignants d’expression écrite en langue seconde (SLW), il faut commencer par en comprendre les besoins. Pour être à même de dispenser efficacement un enseignement enrichi par la technologie, les enseignantes et enseignants d’expression écrite en langue seconde doivent amalgamer leurs connaissances dans les domaines de la théorie de la composition, de l’acquisition d’une langue seconde et des technologies de composition multimodale. Beaucoup d’enseignantes et d’enseignants, toutefois, arrivent mal à le faire, ce qui souligne le besoin de recherches sur les facteurs cognitifs qui ont une incidence sur l’enseignement numérique. La présente étude de cas fait état de recherches menées auprès de trois enseignants (un homme et deux femmes) d’expression écrite en langue seconde en cours de service au niveau universitaire dans le cadre TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge). Des données issues d’un sondage en ligne, un contenu pédagogique, des observations faites en salle de classe et des entrevues semi-structurées ont été triangulés pour lever le voile sur la nature des connaissances des enseignantes et enseignants d’expression écrite en langue seconde dans le cadre TPACK, y compris la question de savoir quels facteurs soutiennent ou restreignent leur recours à la technologie. Les constatations suggèrent que la connaissance du contenu pédagogique joue un rôle prépondérant dans la façon dont les enseignantes et enseignants utilisent la technologie. Leurs connaissances sont par ailleurs renforcées par des convictions professionnelles concernant l’importance de l’intermodalité ainsi que par des facteurs contextuels impliquant le soutien institutionnel et les communautés de pratique. Elles se sont toutefois avérées limitées par l’auto-efficacité réduite des enseignantes et enseignants et leurs croyances pédagogiques relativement à l’influence de la technologie sur l’apprentissage et l’engagement des étudiantes et étudiants. Cette étude s’ajoute à un corpus croissant de recherches sur la façon de soutenir les professeurs de langue dans leurs pratiques numériques.
