Resumen
This research synthesis intends to analyze how English teachers’ attitudes influence the
implementation of technology in pedagogical practices. Fifteen studies that examined English
teachers’ perceptions and the factors affecting them in the application of technology in class
were chosen. The inclusion criteria to select the studies were the following: the articles had to be
empirical, written in English, and published from 2010 and on. Based on the analysis, the
outcomes revealed that it is imperative for teachers to hold positive attitudes if an appropriate
technology implementation in class is to be pursued; furthermore, there are some internal and
external factors that need to be considered because they also play an important role in teachers’
beliefs. Since the analysis of English teachers’ beliefs towards technology and the importance of
training teachers about the use of technological devices are essential in the implementation of
technology in the classroom, further research about these topics is suggested.
