Overcoming ICT challenges to enhance pedagogy in Algerian EFL classes

Abstract EN

Information communication technologies (ICT) have witnessed wide world popularity lately.

it has changed all fields of modern life and education is no exception.

hence, Algerian teachers are tempted to adopt ICT to enhance their teaching performances.

the objective of this research is to explore teachers’ attitudes and perceptions towards technology integration into elf classrooms in ain temouchent secondary schools ; and it investigates the challenges they encounter.

both qualitative and quantitative methods were adopted ; thus, a semi-structured questionnaire administered to 67 participants from 20 schools in ain temouchent.

findings revealed that teachers were eager to integrate ICT but had poor technology training and schools lacked facilities.

despite partial infusion, ICT integration has not reached its pedagogical perspectives, yet.

ICT incorporation is, rather, an on-going process that needs more pedagogical training besides positive attitudes, sufficient equipment and various resources.
