Abstract


Information and communication technology (ICT) in English language learning incorporates digital tools and technologies to improve English language instruction and acquisition. This research explores the learning tools utilized, the use of ICT in the teaching or learning process, and the teacher's obstacles in integrating ICT into the teaching process. This research employed qualitative inquiry and in-depth interviews to collect data from two EFL Islamic junior high school teachers in Tasikmalaya. Thematic analysis was used in this study to analyze the data gathered. The result showed that the learning tools utilized in the learning process comprise PowerPoint, Google Classroom, Google Form, and Google Meet. It further described that the ICT was used to deliver, discuss, explain the material, provide assignments, and evaluate learning. The obstacles teachers faced involved the lack of student engagement in the learning process, poor internet connection, and some students' inability to use the application.
