(Braun & Clarke, 2006). The result revealed several themes represented by specific
codes. The most dominant theme was experience (E). The participants had many new
experiences in utilizing technology into EFL such as designing interactive learning
materials using PowerPoint, using games such as Kahoot, Quizziz, and
Wordwall. They also had several advantages (A) from the technology, such as the
increasing of students’ engagement and improved access to authentic learning
resources to be more efficient lesson delivery. However, they experienced challenges

indicate that the process of utilizing technology into English language learning was
subjective, variative, and flexible depending on each person's experience. | en_US |
