Perception of Libyan English Language Teachers towards Integrating ICT into English Language Classes at the Libyan School in Malaysia

Abstract

This study is set out to investigate the perception of Libyan English teachers towards using ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) by identifying the extent of their use of ICT and identifying which kind of ICT they use. In addition, the study also aims to investigate the challenges that Libyan teachers encounter in integrating ICT into their classes. The research adopts a case study design and employs the interview as the instrument for collecting data from the participants. The data of the study are collected through semi-structured interviews with four Libyan teachers who teach English language to the primary school students at the Libyan School in Malaysia. The study reveals that some of the Libyan teachers have a positive attitude towards integrating ICT, however, their use of ICT is very limited due to the challenges they encounter like poor technological infrastructure, poor support and funding.
