An Inquiry into the Implementation of ICT among Pre-Service English Teachers

Abstract

In recent years, the trend toward globalization and the needs of an information-oriented society have become a focus of attention for science educators. However, many teachers are still struggling to adopt and implement computers into their classrooms. Some researchers contend that beginning teachers are not adequately prepared to integrate computers into their teaching. Furthermore, among teachers, differences exist in instructional decision-making and behaviors when implementing new innovations into their teaching practice. This  study examines the implementation of  ICT (Information and Communication Technology) into English language instruction. Through studying aspects of learning among pre-service teachers, the study seeks to review the studies done on the impact on their new understanding of teaching and decision-making.  The results of this study can provide pre-service teachers with a direction that enables them to make the best use of technology such as ICT in learning to teach English and other core subject areas is necessary.
