Abstract: In today's English language classrooms, technology keeps important to support language learning. However, the present research focuses only on the tools, i.e., Smart Boards, tablets/laptops, and Moodle (online learning management system). Modern English language teachers utilize English Preparatory School, BS, and Master in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Moreover, the present qualitative and observational research examines the role of technology utilized at the English Preparatory School in Cyprus International University to teach English to the learners who learn English as a Second Language. For the present research, data are collected through two interviews from the teachers who teach at Cyprus International University (CIU) and from an in-depth literature review. Through the findings, the researchers observe that: a) all the teachers in TRNC utilize technology, i.e., Smart Boards, tablets, and Moodle; b) technology helps the English Language Learners (ELLs) to enhance their language skills; c) teachers and students who utilize technology in language learning process face technical challenges due to lack of knowledge or less familiarity with the technology. Hence, the present research would explore the pros and cons of technology and intend to know a teacher interested in teaching language through technology.
