An Innovative Technologies-based Program to Develop EFL Student Teachers’ Electronic Teaching Skills and their Motivation .....towards Teaching

Introduction
          The world has known technology for so long, and because it plays a vital role in every field that adopts it, the world has witnessed an unprecedented growth changing the way everything and everyone functions in this world. It has made a revolution in all fields; among them are communication, medicine, transportation, commerce, agriculture, and education in specific.
          In the educational context, technology has changed the way teachers teach and students learn. Technological advancement in education is not new. It existed a long time ago: tape recorders, language labs, videos, and projectors, have been in use back to the 1960s, and are still used up to this moment (Dudeny and Hockly, 2008).
          We have seen that technology is very important for the teaching and learning of languages. Technology not only makes some of the ordinary teaching responsibilities simpler, but it also enables a teacher to design lessons that enhance students' general language proficiency. Technology has demonstrated new opportunities for instruction and learning. It has been discovered to have beneficial effects on student learning attitudes and student-centered learning. Additionally, there are several benefits of technology that help students learn language fundamentals like reading, listening, speaking, writing, and vocabulary. Also, by bringing the outside world into the classroom and by displaying language in its fuller communicative context, educational technologies assist us in motivating pupils. Technology may also give students a lot of knowledge and cultural input to process, freeing the teacher from having to explain everything in detail (Abunowara, 2014).
