E-portfolios have been used in English language teaching (ELT) to assess and improve writing skills. They can also be used to assess and improve speaking skills. Though the attitudes of students toward the use of e-portfolios in speaking classes are known to be positive, teachers’ attitudes toward this method is unknown. Therefore, this study aims to find out the attitudes and perceptions of teachers toward implementing the use of e-portfolios in speaking classes. As it is a small-scale qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were carried out with four listening and speaking teachers who use e-portfolios in their listening and speaking classes. The interviews were content analysed. The results indicated that teachers, like students have positive attitudes toward the implementation of e-portfolios in speaking classes, though there are some challenges to overcome.
