Perceived Benefits of Integrating ICT in English Language Education: Implications for Adult Learners

This paper addressed integration of ICT in English language education, as well as its  implications for adult learners, so as to bring about sustainable self-development of most adults and accuracy during communication involving English language. So, self-developed validated questionnaire comprising three research objectives and descriptive survey research design were employed to generate data from a sample of three hundred (300) consenting adult participants in Nigeria, while Social Learning Theory (SLT) served as theoretical framework for the study. Frequency counts and percentages were used for the data analysis, and findings revealed that most adults in Nigeria lack basic technological literacy to be able to utilize ICT in the process of learning English language. It was recommended that a collaboration between well-trained English language and computer educators be approved to help train these adult learners on how to become ICT compliant while learning English language in this dispensation.
