Short Description

Research has established the importance of integrating technology in English language learning and properly training teachers to effectively integrate technology into their teaching practices. Professional development is a way to increase successful technology integration and to overcome barriers that prevent it. This research explored the needs, current technology integration practices, and attitudes toward the use of technology of four ESOL educators within a community college context to make recommendations for professional development in technology integration.
