MEDIA BASED TEACHING METHODS: CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES

Аннотация:

The study investigates the challenges faced by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in integrating digital media into their classrooms. Official documentation and teacher interviews were used to gather data. The findings revealed that teachers faced challenges such as lack of competence, deficient teaching materials, and inadequate digital skills. Low internet speed and a shortage of devices were examples of infrastructure constraints that exacerbated these problems. Teachers were open to utilizing a variety of technological tools and apps, such as projectors, computers, smartphones, audio speakers, and software such as Google Classroom, PowerPoint, Hot Potatoes, and online dictionaries, in spite of these obstacles. The study offers insights into how to help and improve EFL teachers' efforts to adapt to digital media while highlighting their inventiveness and perseverance.
