- Abstract
The development of technology used nowadays has become an important part of many activities in many fields, including language learning. In the 21st century, the development of technology also demands the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the educational system. Thus, ICT has an impact on the quality of language teaching and learning process. This present study, therefore, aimed to investigate language teachers’ perspectives and their competencies on the implementation of ICT in language teaching as well as the obstacles that they face while integrating them. To obtain participants’ perspectives toward the implementation of ICT, questionnaires were distributed to twenty teachers chosen from the secondary level of education at Bengkulu City. The results of this study indicated that the teachers’ practice and the use of ICT were affected by their subject knowledge expertise. This study also highlighted positive and negative effects regarding the integration of ICT in the process of teaching and learning. Mostly, teachers were aware of the potential use of ICT that becomes more essential nowadays in the learning process. Additionally, teachers were found to have limited confidence in using technology to support their creativity.
