Özet

This study was conducted to examine English teachers' TPACK perceptions in light of web 2.0 tools usage, workload, and technostress levels. The participants were 170 English teachers and the data were collected using snowball sampling and analyzed by applying MANOVA, and Multiple Regression with descriptive analyses. The results revealed that English teachers have positive TPACK perceptions with a moderate level of technostress and workload and they use web 2.0 tools, although not very often. Considering TPACK perception and web 2.0 tools usage, significant differences were realized based on workload and technostress levels. Teachers with low technostress are more eager to use web 2.0 tools, teachers using more web 2.0 tools have more positive TPACK perceptions and more web 2.0 tools usage increases teachers' workload. Web 2.0 tools usage, workload, and technostress levels are significant predictors of TPACK perception. Implications are discussed in terms of theoretical insights, practices for technology-integrated language learning environments, and further research directions.
