Abstract

ICT integration in language classrooms is the subject of research for many decades. The purpose of this descriptive study was to investigate the effect(s) of using ICT tools (in ESL classroom at undergraduate level in Lahore) on motivation and learning. In this study, teachers (from government and private sector) were interviewed to evaluate their stance, perception and behaviors towards ICT usage in ESL classrooms; and what, according to them, are the impacts of ICT on students’ motivation. Course outlines used in Punjab University and University of Central Punjab were reviewed. A survey was also conducted from students to quantify students’ behavior and attitudes towards ICT tools and its impact on their motivation. Gardner’s AMTB was adopted in the questionnaire and the data was analyzed through SPSS. This study shows that ICT tools have motivational impacts on students’ attention and learning. Results obtained reveal correlation between students’ and teachers’ opinion and attitude towards ICT.
