Abstract: The use of education technology is an important dimension in foreign language classes to realize effective language teaching. Using education technology in classes helps teachers realize a better and more effective teaching-learning environment. In this study 150 English teachers working in Turkish Elementary schools were surveyed in order to determine their views and attitudes on the use of education technology in their classes. 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. They sometimes have problems in obtaining necessary equipment for effective English Language Teaching.
