Teaching 21st-Century Skills in the EFL Classroom From Saudi EFL Teachers’ Perspectives

Abstract

The 21st-century language classroom goes beyond simply teaching and learning grammar and vocabulary. This study explored EFL teachers' perceptions of integrating 21st-century skills into their classrooms. This study adopted survey research. The sample of the study consisted of (49) teachers who were teaching at the secondary school level in Najran City, Saudi Arabia, during the academic year 2023-2024. The findings showed that EFL teachers are aware of these skills and practice them to a moderate extent in their teaching contexts. Additionally, results indicated that a high percentage of EFL teachers use technology as a tool for learning in their classrooms. Based on statistical analysis, there are no significant differences between the means of the participants' responses attributed to the two variables: years of experience and educational qualification.
