This study explored the relationship between English as foreign language (EFL) teachers’ content-specific pedagogical beliefs and their technology integration practices.
Using a multiple-case-study research design, the authors examined 12 secondary-level EFL teachers’ beliefs using Johnson’s (1992) framework of skill-based, rule-based, or function-based.
The findings suggested an overall alignment between EFL teachers’ content-specific pedagogical beliefs and technology integration practices.
While EFL teachers used similar technology tools, the same tools were used to support different types of teaching practices depending on teachers’ content-specific pedagogical beliefs.

In this article, the authors examine technology integration through the lens of the teacher as an agent of change: What are the necessary characteristics, or qualities, that enable teachers to leverage technology resources as meaningful pedagogical tools? To answer this question, the authors discuss the literature related to four variables of teacher change: knowledge, self-efficacy, pedagogical beliefs, and subject and school culture. Implications are discussed in terms of both teacher education and professional development programs.
