Abstract


The field of education has seen a significant change due to the information and communication technology (ICT) in English Language Teaching. Education ministries worldwide have already approved the integration of ICT into educational systems. Since a decade ago, English Language Teaching (ELT) has been integrated with information and communication technology (ICT) in secondary schools. Adoption of and efforts for integration ICT in ELT differ significantly from the state of an actual implementation. The study seeks to investigate the perception of English teachers at the secondary level regarding ICT integration in English language teaching as well as the variables that prevent its implementation. The article also makes an effort to look at the difficulties English instructors in secondary schools have in successfully integrating ICT into their classrooms. In an effort to assess instructors' attitudes on using ICT in ELT. The result shows teachers' attitudes towards ICT-integrated CLT 79.62%, which obtained the “high” category, and another aspect was 75.91%, which got the “high” sort in facing challenges due to the implementation of ICT. Overall, 77% of teachers achieved good scores in all aspects.
