This study aims to analyse the level of Google Classroom usage among primary school Iban language teachers in the Kanowit district, Sarawak. A total of 35 teachers participated as respondents through a questionnaire instrument. The findings indicate that the level of Google Classroom usage is at a moderate level, particularly in terms of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, alongside teachers’ positive attitudes towards its application. The analysis also reveals a significant positive relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and teachers’ attitudes towards using the platform. The implications of the study highlight the importance of continuous support from school administrators and the Ministry of Education Malaysia in the form of training, infrastructure, and effective pedagogical strategies to strengthen the teaching and learning of the Iban language through optimal integration of digital technology.
