Abstract

Teachers' expertise and technical knowhow in ICT utilization play a vital role in responding to the needs of time in this digital era, especially in language teaching. The data were gathered among the permanent teachers who were teaching English in the public elementary schools of Alamada East, West, and North districts in School Year 2021 – 2022. The findings of the study reveal that most teachers have adequate knowledge on computer and have capabilities in terms communication, web and presentation skills. The study also reveal that age, and length of service have significant difference on the capability level of teachers in using ICT, while teachers' sex, educational attainment, and tribe showed otherwise. The result also found that teachers' age, sex, educational attainment, length of service, and tribe have no significant difference on the extent of teachers' utilization of ICT in teaching language. Furthermore, the findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between the teachers' capability level of ICT and their extent of utilization of ICT in teaching reading, writing, speaking and listening. Inadequate ICT equipment and internet access remain as challenge in the study area.
