Teachers' Perceptions about the Use of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Second Language Learning at Higher Secondary Level

Abstract

    This research is aimed at investigating the perceptions of English language teachers pertaining to the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in second language learning. The availability of ICT resources in institutions and their application by the teachers in English Language Teaching (ELT) class was also kept in focus in this study. The use of technology has undoubtedly brought favorable results in our life. It speeds up the transfer of information and permits faster processes as well as provides a pleasant learning atmosphere. This study was carried out at a higher secondary level comprising 60 respondents from public and private institutions in the city of Multan (Punjab), Pakistan. The measurement tool questionnaire was employed for the collection of data. The development of the questionnaire was done by the researchers according to the teaching level and background of the respondents. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS. The results showed that ICT and its use in L2 learning are beneficial and may prove to be an aid in the results.It was also explored that a fully dedicated ICT apparatus is required for English language teaching and learning in educational institutions. Moreover, the training of teaching faculty in educational institutions is needed for the better application of ICTs in language teaching.
