Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This systematic review investigates teachers' viewpoints on technology integration in language teaching and learning, focusing on developing a sustainable adoption framework. Using the PRISMA framework, 225 peer-reviewed articles were initially selected, and 35 articles were finally included as they specifically addressed teachers' attitudes towards technology. Noteworthy findings reveal that 90% of these articles reflect positive perceptions among teachers, indicating a belief in technology's potential to enhance learning and teaching. However, despite this optimism, approximately 90% of those with positive views encounter challenges in effectively integrating technology into their teaching practices. The identified challenges underscore the need for a sustainable framework to promote technology integration into language teaching and learning. The findings contribute to the discourse on technology integration in language education, offering practical implications for educators, institutions, and policymakers. The proposed sustainable framework guides overcoming challenges and ensuring holistic and sustained technology integration in language teaching and learning.
