摘要：21st-century learning may help teachers in getting various listening materials easily.Even though itis easy to get listening materials,there is no guarantee that every listening material will meetstudents‘ needs or learning objective. One possible solution that can be used is by having Text toSpeech program as a tool for creating listening materials. As such, this study aims to investigateEFL teachers’ perceptions toward the use of Text to Speech program in creating listeningmaterials by using TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical, Content, Knowledge) model by involvingGoogle Site as the media to deliver the listening material. Since not all listening material isappropriate with students’ needs and learning condition, Text to Speech could be considered asthe solution for this problem. This study made use of qualitative method with individual interviewtechnique to answer the research questions formulated. There were eight EFL teachers whoserved as the participants of this research. Several steps were done in order to gain teachers’perceptions towards the use of Text to Speech in creating listening materials. First, a computertraining was done in order to make EFL teachers familiar with the Text to Speech program;second, the listening material produced by teachers was uploaded in Google site to be deliveredto students, after that teachers tried the prepared listening material and Google site feature; next,the interviews were done to gain EFL teachers’ perceptions towards Text to Speech program andGoogle site. The findings show that EFL teachers give positive responses toward the integrationof Text to Speech program by using TPACK model. EFL teachers found it useful to use this digitalapproach in the language learning process.
