الملخص

The use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in English language teaching classrooms depends on the available aids the lecturers\' knowledge, and the students. One of the important factors is lecturers\' knowledge and skills in using ICT in class. This study reports a case study of 12 EFL instructors who are working in the department of English at Al-Yarmouk University College who use ICT in teaching different topics of English as foreign language (FL) learners .The data of the study were collected from observation of instructors’ lectures. Each lesson was a video recorded and played back during a stimulated recollection interview and followed by instructors after each lecture. Mishra and Koehler(2006) suggest the use of technology is associated by the dynamic relationship between instructors’ technological, pedagogical and content knowledge ( TPCK). The analysis of the interview data will hopefully provide a better understanding of how the different types of knowledge interact and influence instructors’ use of ICT in teaching English to FL learners. Furthermore, through an analysis of instructors’ use of ICT in teaching specific subject content, this study also hopes to advance the development of the TPCK model. The findings will also contribute to an understanding of the role of literature in language.
