This study aims at knowing howIndonesian’s in-service teachers integrate ICT in their classes for better and effective ELT. This study used descriptive qualitative design which the main instruments were the researchers and list of questions for interview was composed as the supporting instrument. The interviews were conducted to six teachers who teach English in several schools in Surabaya and Malang. The teachers were purposely chosen based on some criteria. First, they are graduates of English Language Teaching major. Second, they have been teaching not more than five years. Third, the schools where they teach have facility of ICT or at least the electricity is available there. The interview conducted was recorded and the data collected were analyzed. Although the teachers were aware of the importance of ICT and liked to update the latest issue of technology to keep it up, the result showed that their capability to integrate it in language learning was not enough since some thought ICT was only used as attraction or variety. It may be caused by their lack of pedagogical skill, however, other factors such as schools’ and students’ readiness could take roles as well. The findings lead to the conclusion that English teachers were not completely ready in some ways. However, these teachers still have spirit and passion to improve themselves which it indicates a good asset to the better ELT. Knowing and realizing this, it is suggested that these findings can help the authorities as the ones who have power to set the plans to improve teachers for better outcome of ELT.
