What Students Think about Technology Usage in the ELT Classes

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of technology usage in ELT at university classes. To this end, we sent an online questionnaire about the topic we searched to 3rd grade students (N=54) in the ELT department at Uludag University. The questionnaire contains 7 Likert Scale items and one open-ended question in the end. The analyses of the quantitative and qualitative data indicated that effects of using technology are positive according to the thoughts of the participants, and that they benefit from technology in the classes as it is easier to follow the developments in the world. It was also revealed that technologic devices are generally used in universities, but according to the students, technological devices are too expensive to buy, and thus, not accessible by everyone. The findings of the study revealed a meaningful connection between using technology in ELT classes and increase in success.
