Abstract

The use of technology in English learning is becoming increasingly crucial to achieve optimal learning outcomes. This study aims to explore teachers' perceptions regarding the use and challenges of using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in English learning at SPM Al-Mashduqiah. Using a qualitative method with a case study type, this study focuses on the perception of English teachers in the school as the subject of the study. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation, which were then analyzed using a descriptive approach to describe and interpret the teacher's experiences and views in detail. The findings reveal that teachers have been utilizing ICT in various aspects of English learning, including the use of learning apps, interactive videos, and online platforms for assignments and evaluations. However, teachers face several challenges, such as limited facilities, lack of technical training, and resistance to changes from traditional teaching methods. Teachers' perceptions of ICT utilization vary; most view ICT as a tool capable of increasing student engagement and learning effectiveness, while others feel burdened by the need to master new technologies in their use in English learning. The study concludes that although the use of ICT in English learning at SPM Al-Mashduqiah has great potential to improve the quality of education, further efforts are needed to address existing challenges, including increased facility support and ongoing training for teachers. These findings are expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers and education practitioners in designing effective strategies for ICT integration, making an English learning more enjoyable and effective.
