Abstract
Infusing technology into English Language Teaching can contribute positive impacts toward students’
learning if it is integrated in such a way. Curriculum 2013 proposes the integration of Information
Communication Technology into instructional practices. This study investigatedwhether or not the
teachers of English integrated ICT into their ELT; described about how ICT was implemented in ELT;
and explored the obstacles faced by the teachers of English in implementing ICT. This study surveyed ten
state Senior High Schools in Palembang. Twelve teachers of English and 200eleventh grade students
participated in this study chosen by using purposive samplingtechnique. In gathering the data,
questionnairewas administered. The results showed that most English teachers and students integrated
ICT in their classroom. ICT was implemented as instructional tools to facilitate English learning in the
classroom. However, they still faced some obstacles in integrating ICT into ELT. School supports became
the main factor hindering ICT implementation at schools.
