چکیده

Nowadays, technology is a facilitator for different aspects of human life, particularly for education systems. Education is an important part of our life so if we want to make it easier and more efficacious, the use of technology is inevitable. Technology will accelerate learners’ learning and it also makes teaching process more comfortable specially in TEFL because new methods of language teaching are communication based and technology can provide a context in which communication takes place. Using technology in education needs some preliminaries. One of these preliminaries is teachers’ readiness for using technology. In this research, we measured Iranian TEFL teachers’ technology readiness by a valid and reliable questionnaire with 47 participants and took suggestions from these teachers in the subject of teaching English by implementing and using the newest technologies by interviewing them online. These suggestions for boosting the teachers’ technology readiness in their school classrooms were collected and acquired through a semi-structured interview. The results of the questionnaire showed an average rate in the scale. It means that their technology readiness is not that low to blame or that high to praise the things have been done in Iran education system so far. By this rate, the administrators and decision makers in this system can make use of the suggestions prepared by the TEFL teachers themselves in this article.
