Investigating The Impact Of Information And Communication Technologies (icts) Usage On Enhancing Efl Learners’ Performance

Résumé: The research investigated the usage of information and communication technology (ICT) in Algerian secondary schools and its impact on enhancing the students’ learning process. The primary objectives are firstly to identify the main challenges or barriers that arise during the implementation of ICTs in Algerian secondary schools, and secondly to determine the best practices for the effective integration of ICTs to improve learning outcomes. The study employed a descriptive research design to examine the application of ICTs in Algerian secondary school settings. Two key data collection methods were utilized; a questionnaire administered to 30 EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers from various schools in Tissemsilt, and classroom observations were made with three teachers from different secondary schools to assess and evaluate the EFL learners’ performance. The findings reveal the key challenges that prevent teachers from successfully incorporating ICTs into their lesson plans and performances, as well as the most effective strategies for using ICTs to enhance the learners’ learning experiences. The study concludes by providing recommendations and suggestions to help Algerian secondary school EFL teachers more successfully integrate ICTs in order to improve learners’ learning outcomes.
