Innovation in Language Learning

The developments of information technologies have increasingly changed the way of learning and teaching. Hence, the role of educators encompasses the process of facilitating learning and helping students develop their learning abilities. The use of online information technologies to enhance teachers' professional development is gaining in popularity and is being seen as essential to improve the quality of teaching methodology. In Moroccan universities, the use of ICT is steel facing barriers and moves in a slow cadence. In spite of their positive attitudes towards ICT, teachers don't adopt ICT tools in classrooms with the same frequency. To investigate factors that might affect teachers' attitudes and use of ICT, this comparative study have been done on a sample of 96 teachers belonging to two faculties, Arts and Humanities and Science, from two cities, namely Meknes and Oujda. There was a difference in teaching experience, which ranged from 1 year to more than 30 years of teaching. We used descriptive statistics, cross tabulation and Chi Square test, and independent sample t test to compare groups' means. It has been found that there was a significant effect of teaching experience and filiere on most of ICT aspects of the questionnaire whereas there were no effect of university nor gender on the attitudes of teachers towards ICT and their use in the teaching process.
