CLASSROOM PRACTICE Last two decades have witnessed a significant growth of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In order to harvest the benefits of the ICT, countries all over the world have been making significant investments in developing

ICT in various fields. Hence, the attempts to transform traditional classroom into interactive classrooms have been made and classrooms have been equipped with ICT tools throughout

ICT training and skills of EFL teachers, the current ICT use in language classrooms, the factors motivating EFL  teachers, the current ICT use in language classrooms, the factors motivating EFL teachers to use ICT, the factors preventing EFL teachers from using ICT and the areas EFL teachers would like to get supported.
