Özet:

In the present study, how EFL instructors understand the use of computer technologies and their attitudes towards ICT were investigated. The aims of this research were to define the instructors' attitudes, explain the relationship between instructors' attitudes and their ICT use and specify their ICT needs. With these aims, 63 EFL Instructors, who work at Uludağ University School of Foreign Languages, were given two types of data collection instruments. The first questionnaire aimed at measuring the ICT use with the participants' demographic features and the second one aimed to identify instructors' attitudes towards ICT. Additionally, twelve instructors were interviewed to get a deeper understanding of their attitudes and ICT use. The data collected from the questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively using SPSS, and the interviews were analyzed qualitatively. The findings of the study revealed that nearly all participants regarded ICT as an invaluable tool for their teaching and had moderately positive attitudes towards using it for personal or professional reasons. There were some significant factors such as age, teaching experience and computer skills which are the most determinant factors affecting ICT use of instructors. The frequency of their ICT use for personal use is higher than their professional use and at that point their primary ICT need is training. The results of this study have pedagogical implications for the Council of Higher Education for teacher education, English teachers and language schools.
