- Abstract
The transformation from face-to-face teaching to online teaching in this COVID-19 pandemic makes teachers have no excuse to integrate ICT in their teaching. Thus, ICT becomes the most important tool in educational setting currently. However, only 10% is known about how EFL teachers perceived the effectiveness of ICT integration in their teaching during this pandemic in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how they perceive ICT-ELT integration in terms of effectiveness and barriers of incorporating ICT. Guided by a descriptive quantitative research design, the empirical data were collected through distributing an online questionnaire to 126 primary and secondary EFL teachers. The results revealed that the majority of EFL teachers had positive perception in integrating ICT due to its effectiveness. However, it was also reported that lack of internet access, few technical supports from schools, and limited knowledge and training of ICT discouraged them in using ICT. This study indicated the importance of stakeholders and government supports to promote ICT-based teaching and learning by providing adequate technology access and technical supports for EFL teachers.
