Abstract
Education has been an important instrument for social and economic transformation. Presently, higher education in Algeria is experiencing a major transformation in terms of access and quality. This transition is highly influenced by the swift development in information and communication technologies (ICTs) all over the world. As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become one of the basic building blocks of modern society, its introduction in higher education has profound implications for the whole education process, especially in the issues of access, equity, management, efficiency, pedagogy, and quality. Inventive use of ICT is defined as the use of ICT applications that hold up the learning objectives based on the requirements of the modern information society. Hence, there is a need to bring out the facts on the impact of ICT on educational trainers. At the same time, the optimal utilization of opportunities arising due to diffusion of ICTs in higher education system presents a profound challenge for higher education institutes. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how implementation of ICT in EFL will improve the learning process in higher education in Algeria. It addresses the opportunities that can be gained through the integration of ICTs in various aspects of higher education. The study will be purely quantitative, and one questionnaire is administered for students to be analyzed.
