ABSTRACT=Nowadays advancements in information and communication technology (ICT) and the increase of interest in using the internet for teaching led educators to work in new virtual settings; however, using technology in teaching needs the understanding and information of English educators. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is an educators’ knowledge concept regarding integrating technology into teaching. Also, how educators implement technology proficiently in their classes is a significant issue since learning environments are influenced by rapid advances in instructional technology. Consistent with this issue, it is critical for teacher development to integrate ICT into educational tasks in the design, application, and assessment of practices in a virtual setting. To this end, the objective of the present review is to consider the role of the practice in the virtual platform in developing EFL teachers’ TPACK. Ultimately, some implications are presented for the EFL educational stakeholders.
