Technology is one of the important factors of progressing the teaching/learning process in the schools and universities especially for the English language teaching. It can help the teacher to present a better lesson to students. Technology is very necessary for the field of education because there are too many things that the teachers can do such as playing videos in English language or a song, movie and even a theatre show. Now a days using technology is very common in the world; however, Kurdistan public schools do not use any technology in their classes except the private schools. The ministry of education has neglected this most important factor in this age. In the pandemic most of the countries faced problems in studying in the schools because of the lock down. Most countries seek to use the technology to finish the school year and they successfully finished their school year by using E Learning and Online Zoom even other resources to rich the learning process but in Kurdistan the schools do not use any kinds of technology and our students are not familiar with the online systems and E learning because we do not apply such valuable recourses in our schools that’s why in this year we have encountered a lot of problems of finishing the schools year because our students did not know how to use and access them easily. In this research my aim is to find out the advantages and disadvantages of using technology in the education and what are the reasons for not using technology in Kurdistan schools until now.
