This study sheds light on perceptions and attitudes toward obtaining competency of English teachers at Senior High Schools regarding the integration of Internet, communication, and technology (ICT) in the English classroom in Indonesia. The research involved 113 English teachers from 11 different sub-districts in Riau Province-Indonesia, and data were collected through online questionnaires utilizing Google Forms. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0, while qualitative data were analyzed using a three-stage analysis involving data reduction, data display, and verification. The study’s findings revealed positive perceptions and favorable attitudes toward the integration of ICT in EFL classrooms. Importantly, EFL teachers’ competency in ICT significantly influenced their teaching performance. Qualitative insights highlighted obstacles faced by English teachers, such as limited internet networking and inadequate facilities, impacting their experiences due to the absence of ICT training and socialization from schools. Based on the findings, there is an urgent need to address challenges faced by teachers in rural areas, emphasizing the pivotal role of ICT for effective teaching and learning in EFL classrooms.
