Primary teachers' Choices of Educational Technology

Educational technology has been impactful on the achievement of language teaching and learning. English language teachers have applied educational technology in their own teaching for various reasons. This study aims to 1) investigate the choices of educational technology; and 2) Find reasons for such choices of primary teachers who teach English in a public school. The semi-structured interviews were collected from seven participants who were teaching at Watphrapathomchede School, Nakhon Pathom. The interview data were analyzed by using frequency counts to find the chosen educational technologies and thematic analyses to classify the reasons into themes. The results revealed that 1) televisions, computers, and YouTube had been chosen by all seven of the participants; and 2) pedagogical objectives and institutional decisions were the two main reasons given by these primary teachers for their choices of educational technology in use.
