Uses of ICTs and attitudes of language teachers in the European Schools System

Abstract

This research finds out what are the uses of ICTs by language teachers and their attitudes towards technology in the institutional network of the European Schools (a group of schools dependent on the European Commission distributed throughout Europe). These teachers have different nationalities, they come from educational systems of the different European countries and from different training systems, but they work in the same institution teaching their native language. For the research, a valid and reliable questionnaire was especially used. It was intended for the language teachers of these schools whose results demonstrate a moderate use of technology in the classrooms despite the positive attitude of teachers and a clear need for ICT training.
