“…Research has indicated that technology has played an effective role in language teaching and learning since it penetrated into the educational field, and IWB use in EFL classes has generally been regarded as an effective tool in terms of motivation, interaction, effective teaching, broadening the learning environment, and improving language skills (Aydın, 2007;Aydınlı & Elaziz, 2010;Conacher & Royall, 1998;Johnson, et al, 2010;Katwibun, 2014;Öz, 2014;Schmid, 2008;Türel & Johnson, 2012).

“…In spite of the fact that there has been great technological development in education, some problems with regard to language teaching and learning through IWBs might occur: a) teachers' lack of competence using IWBs (Korkmaz & Çakıl, 2013), b) low motivation towards using technology (Al-Faki & Khamis, 2014), c) the fact that it may be time consuming to redesign materials and integrate materials with these technological tools (Johnson, Ramanair & Brine, 2010), d) technical problems (Gursul & Tozmaz, 2010), and e) exposing too much information and teaching very quickly (Schmid, 2008). In this sense, the main aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes and reactions of 9th grade students in EFL classes towards the use of IWBs in one of the eastern cities of Turkey.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine ninth grade EFL students’ experiences and attitudes towards classrooms equipped with interactive whiteboards (IWB). The data were collected with a questionnaire about attitudes towards IWB use in EFL classes, and observations from three different classrooms in three different high schools. The study indicated that the EFL students were not fully aware of how to use IWBs in learning English although they had a background of IWB use. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference in the attitudes of the male and female students towards using IWBs. Overall, the results revealed that EFL students’ attitudes towards IWBs were positive although there were some technical challenges in IWB classrooms.
