Technology has grown into a knowledge resource that can be incorporated into the subject matter being instructed, in spite of acting as a teaching tool. English language educators who are not competent will have an inauspicious influence on students' language learning performance despite all endeavour to bolster educational establishment. Thus, it is necessary for the teachers as the main driving force to be competent in intertwining ICT with pedagogy and content, better known as Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) for successful technology inclusion in education. Past studies have been done on teachers' TPACK competence focusing on specific subjects and factors affecting the TPACK level but there is a lack of investigation on the TPACK level with regards to the non-optionist teachers in the primary ESL teaching and the age factors. Thus, this study intends to identify non-optionist ESL teachers perceived TPACK competence in the primary ESL classroom. The method used is a quantitative descriptive approach. A web-based survey questionnaire was sent to 50 primary school teachers in Malaysia. The findings demonstrated that non-optionist ESL teachers’ TPACK competence is at a moderately high level, mainly in the technology-based domains. This study likewise found that age and TPACK levels were statistical significantly related. This research may be used as a reference by school authority to provide courses or skills training for the educators or teachers who choose to introduce technology inclusion in ESL teaching and learning. Future research may focus on technology’s influence on teaching skills in different subject areas.
