The effect of EFL teachers’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) on EFL teaching in Saudi Arabian male public Secondary schools

Abstract
This paper describes an ongoing research project investigating the level of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) of English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in male public secondary schools in the Albaha region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The purpose of this paper is to explain the application of the TPACK framework to EFL teaching in a Middle Eastern context. The findings present the contextual, pedagogical and cultural barriers that may exist and how these might be understood when viewed through the lens of the TPACK framework.
