TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION IN AN EFL CLASSROOM: A STUDY AT SMA N 19 PALEMBANG

---

This study investigated the integration of educational technology in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom at SMA Negeri 19 Palembang. The objectives of the study were to identify the types of educational technologies used by English teachers and students, explore the reasons for their use, and examine the benefits and challenges experienced in technology-enhanced English teaching and learning. This research employed a qualitative research design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with seven English teachers and open-ended questionnaires administered to 306 students from grades 10, 11, and 12 during the first semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis following the six phases proposed by Braun and Clarke. The findings revealed three main themes: patterns of technology use in EFL classrooms, pedagogical and practical considerations for technology integration, and the impact of technology on learning experiences. The results showed that teachers and students utilized a wide range of technologies, including including hardware, communication tools, learning platforms, AI-tools, online dictionaries, presentation tools, and social media.These technologies were used to support instructional delivery, communication, assessment, and independent learning. The study also found that technology integration enhanced student engagement, motivation, understanding of learning materials, and classroom interaction. However, several challenges were identified, such as unstable internet connectivity, limited access to devices, varying levels of digital literacy, and time constraints. To address these challenges, teachers and students adopted coping strategies, including flexible tool selection, collaborative learning, and alternative offline activities. Overall, the study concludes that educational technology plays a significant role in supporting EFL teaching and learning, but its effectiveness depends on pedagogical planning, institutional support, and contextual readiness.
