Worldwide, Information and communication technologies (ICTs)
have gained a vital importance in satisfying the requirements of both the
new Education System and the revised Curriculum for English Language
Teaching (ELT). The experience of introduci
ng different ICTs into the
classroom and other educational settings worldwide suggests that
teachers' effective integration of technology into their curricula largely
depends on their perceptions and attitudes to the value of these tools to
achieving their instructional purposes. This research seeks to evaluate the
readiness to integrate ICTs into the current teaching practices of the
faculty at the department of English Language and Literature at
Damascus University. In a context of large classes where resources are
minimal and staff members are in short supply, using technology assisted
learning at Damascus University may help enhance education by giving
learners more flexibility and helping them evolve into more autonomous
learners. Investigating the current faculty’s reading of the value of
technology as a means of overcoming some of the restrictions imposed
by their context will uncover potential limitations on the use of ICTs in
the existing context and suggest workable solutions.
