Abstract
Technology advancement has led to new breakthroughs in the field of education. Nowadays,several technology tools are available that can be used to enhance teaching and meet students'needs. Therefore, it is entirely up to teachers to employ modern technology or stick to the traditional methods in teaching English. The purpose of this study is to shed light on the use of technology in EFL teaching in the Algerian primary schools. More specifically, it sought to inspect primary school EFL teachers' perceptions regarding the use of e-textbooks in their classes. To achieve this aim, one questionnaire was distributed to 25 teachers of English at different primary schools at Oum El Bouaghi. The findings of the study demonstrated that teachers have modest degree of familiarity with the use of technology in EFL teaching and recognise its usefulness and its positive impact on learners while doing assignments. However, they prefer printed textbooks to digital ones when teaching English at primary schools.
