A. The benefits of ICT in Language Teaching
and Learning

ICT can provide a considerable benefit in supporting

learning. By using technology in their learning, the students
can be active learners. They will be aware of what
information they need, why they need it, and how they can
get that information. As mentioned by Bransford, Brown, and
Cocking (cited in Huffaker, 2003) an active learning allows
the students to decide when they require a particular
information and whether they have already understood that
information or not.

Here are some explanations of the benefits of ICT in language teaching and
learning:

✘ ICT also can provide a way for dynamic

and collaborative learning.
✘ ICT can improve students' interactivity
and communication.
✘ ICT can lead us to meta-cognitive
learning.
✘ ICT can improve children’s literacy.
✘ Increase the motivation and interaction
students in learning.

B. The Challenges of ICT in LTL

1. Limited accessibility and network connection

2. School with limited technical support

3. Lack of effective training

4. Limited time

5. Lack of teachers’ competency

Recent development of
technology and demand of
human needs have made ICT
become inseparable from our life.
Nowadays, everything is
accesible through ICT including
teaching and learning matter. ICT
has a great potential to support
teaching and learning process.
Siahaan (2009) identifies some of the
potentials namely:
a. expanding learning opportunities,
b. improving efficiency,
c. improving the quality of learning,
d. facilitating the formation of skills,
e. encouraging life-long learning,
f. reducing the digital divide, i.e. the disparity in
ICT diffusion and use between industrial and
developing countries (or between rich and poor,
men and women, urban and rural areas within
individual countries)
g. and encouraging active-learning interactive.

Realizing the potentials of ICT, a number of studies had
been conducted by some scholars. They reported that:

✘ A. ICT offers boundless learning resources and materials for

language learners,
✘ B. creates an enjoyable learning climate, and provides
authentic materials.
✘ C. Further, ICT changes the way to access, organize, and
obtain knowledge and information
✘ D. Also, it offers the language learners the ease to access
different people, languages, cultures, and social practices

Dogoriti (2010) on the benefit of ICT in ELT explains that the
integration of ICT into foreign language education, e.g. English in
Indonesia, has been assumed as the potential of the new
technological tools to revolutionize an outmoded educational
system and ICT has brought about the innovative use of web-
based learning in second language learning and teaching. With a
variety of hyperlinked multimedia documents and computer-
mediated communication (CMC) tools, the web could support
language teachers to integrate web resources into the language
classroom.

 According to the regulation of MOEC no. 45/2015, the
implementation of ICT integration covers three major
points:

A. The encouragement B. The encouragement C. The encouragement

for students to search,
process, store, present,
and share data and
information in order to
support the learning
continuity
.
for students to develop for teachers to employ
self-esteem in ICT in: developing
accordance to their learning resources and
own needs, potentials, learning media,
talents, interests, and preparing the lessons,
characteristics by using conducting and
ICT as a means of evaluating the learning
exploring the learning process, and reporting
resources the learning results.

 a picture is worth a thousand words

However, as numerous studies have

noted, integrating ICT in learning
activities is not without challenges.
Despite the government’s serious
intention of embracing ICT in the
national curriculum, economic
problems constrain government
efforts to supply adequate ICT
resources for every school since the
government has to prioritize
educational funding for other basic
educational improvements, such as
teachers‟ welfare and student
poverty (Yuhetty, 2002). Thus, as a
number of the previously reviewed
studies showed, Indonesian ELT is
also facing a lack access to ICT
facilities and resources.

11
 Furthermore there are some
barriers in integrating ICT into ELT
learning. Bingimlas (2009) divides
the obstacles into two categories:
A. teacher-levelobstacles
B. school-level obstacles
