“…In this educational milieu, innovative technologies can be leveraged to enhance various language skills (Wu & Marek, 2018), opening up more avenues for education, including the use of the Internet, IWBs, and computers (Hanimoglu, 2018;Parr & Ward, 2011). For example, educators can utilize instructional technologies like IWBs in numerous elementary classrooms to enhance language skills such as reading (Alhumsi, 2017;Capodieci et al, 2020;Slavin et al, 2009), word identification and decoding (Coleman-Martin et al, 2005), and phonological awareness and word reading (Hofmann, 2021;Heimann et al, 1995). In the context of this paper, the skill of word identification can be effectively taught using IWBs, capitalizing on their significant features.…”

This study investigates Jordanian EFL teachers' perspectives on the impact of Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) technology on word identification enhancement. Drawing on the theory of Multimedia Learning, the research aims to address a gap in the literature regarding EFL educators' perceptions of using IWBs to improve word identification skills. A cross-sectional survey was administered to 124 Jordanian EFL teachers, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and one-way ANOVA. The findings reveal positive attitudes among Jordanian EFL teachers towards the efficacy of IWB technology in enhancing word identification. Participants overwhelmingly support the favorable use of IWBs and recognize their potential to enhance word identification skills. Importantly, no significant differences were found across demographic variables, suggesting a consistent recognition of IWB efficacy irrespective of gender, age, academic degree, or years of experience. The results underscore the importance of integrating IWB technology into EFL classrooms and highlight the need for further exploration of pedagogical approaches to maximize its benefits. This study contributes to the literature by providing insights into the perceptions of Jordanian EFL teachers regarding IWB technology and its role in word identification enhancement. It advocates for the continued utilization and exploration of IWB technology to enhance language teaching and learning practices.
