Rusma Kalra1.
This paper aims to investigate the English as foreign language (EFL) as teachers’ attitudes towards
the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in Thai setting. The participants of
this study were six English teachers from an international university in Thailand which were
further classified into two groups of “novice” and “ experienced” teachers. Data were collected
via interview methods with 6 teachers at an international university in Thailand. Findings show
novice teachers have a positive attitude towards the use of ICT in their language classroom as
compared to their experienced peers. The novice teacher makes use of more ICT-related materials
and activities when compared to their more experienced counterpart. Nevertheless, many language
instructors mentioned certain challenges in using ICT . Besides, teachers’ acceptance or rejection
of ICTs has pedagogical implications. It is agreed upon that ICTs make the learning process more
enjoyable since students becomes more involved to learn through wide range of topics, materials
and tools.
