A five-point Likert type attitude scale was developed and used in the study. It consists of 36 items measuring positive and negative attitudes of English teachers towards use of technology. The teachers were also asked which technological aids and techniques they use in their classes. It was determined that teachers have positive attitudes towards use of education technology but they cannot obtain or use technology easily.
