Abstract

Nowadays, teachers are facing challenges teaching in digital age. Little has been published about the impact of teacher educators’ support to prepare future teachers in integrating ICT into instruction, especially in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). This study aims to elaborate both the ICT characteristics of EFL teacher educators in line with their attitudes towards ICT and their ICT competencies as well as the support they have in pre-service teacher training programs (PTTPs). This sequential explanatory study involved 138 teacher educators as survey respondents and seven of them as interview informants from three higher institutions in Indonesia. Results indicate positive attitudes towards ICT and inform medium level ICT competency of the teacher educators. In addition, less effective in ICT integration into classroom teaching was also revealed. Qualitative findings inform seven themes; role models, attitudes on the roles in ICT integration, learning technology by design, peers’ collaboration, feedbacks in learning, professional development, and accessibility to ICT.
