Technology usage is not something new in our education system and due to the new normal we live in, technology has been used rapidly today compared to back then. Technology has been a new medium in the teaching and learning process rather than the traditional way. It offers a lot of functions in order to make teaching and learning more enjoyable and meaningful.In this context, technology usage is defined as teaching tools, materials or applications used by the teachers in their language learning. It provides a variety of teaching techniques and teaching materials, which act as tools in the teaching and learning process, with the help of technology. However, not all teachers are familiar with the use of technology in their teaching and learning due to some constraints. This study aims to know the teachers’ perceptions towards technology as a tool in language learning besides identifying the challenges that occur by using technology in language learning. This research used a mixed method. An online questionnaire was distributed to 30 English teachers in rural areas. The finding of the research showed that most teachers were having positive perceptions towards the use of technology as it is a beneficial factor in language learning despite the challenge they had. Although the result showed positive perceptions towards the use of technology, more research is needed to identify the teachers’ competency in using digital tools.
