چکیده

The purposes of this study were to explore language learners’ and instructors’ knowledge and use of tools, applications, and websites, their attitudes to using technology, and their perceptions of advantages and challenges of using technology in academic listening classes. The participants of this study were 184 undergraduate students of Engineering and four academic listening instructors at the Iran University of Science and Technology. The instruments of this research were a questionnaire on knowledge, use, and attitudes to technology, followed by eight open-ended items in this regard. A semi-structured interview was also conducted with the listening instructors. The results of the study revealed that although learners did not have enough knowledge about technological types, they had positive attitude to using them in their listening classes. The instructors were also eager to use technological types and believed that using technologies was very effective, boosting the learners’ language development and creativity. Learners also stated that using technological types could increase their learning efficacy and motivation, making learning listening skills easier. The results also indicated that lack of time, Internet speed, and technological literacy were the main challenges that learners and instructors faced while using technologies in the academic listening classes.
