However, the question is, "is the use of ICT really integrated or merely segregated outside the classroom?" This study was intended to answer that question.

The instruments used were interview guide and observation sheet. The results of this study showed that the teacher was aware of the integration of ICT in EFL classroom and she integrated it in the instruction and activities in the learning process.
