THE IMPLEMENTATION OF 21st CENTURY SKILLS BY ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHERS

Abstract

The way people work and live in the 21st century has undergone a significant change as a result of the globalization of society, the expansion of technology in all spheres of life, and scientific advancements. As a result of this shift, higher-level abilities are required in the 21st century in contrast to the 20th century, when success in daily life and the 3Rs (reading, writing, and math) were prerequisites. This study aims to find out how much 21st century abilities are utilized by secondary school English language teachers. To meet the goals, a quantitative research design was used. During the academic year 2022–2023, the data were digitally gathered using the 21st Century Teaching and Learning Scale.46 English language teachers from schools participated in the study. The study's findings were examined with the use of SPSS 22.0. The study's findings showed that teachers incorporate 21st century skills into their lesson plans about once or three times each month, with some abilities being covered more frequently than others.
