Description
This study explores how experienced ESL teachers with over ten years of practice engage with ICT in both school and adult-learning settings. Using semi-structured interviews with sixteen educators, it highlights challenges such as resistance to change, limited training, and poor infrastructure. Findings show that younger learners respond better to structured tools, while adults benefit from collaborative platforms. The study calls for context-sensitive ICT use, tailored training, and sustained professional development to support effective, equitable integration in ESL classrooms.
