Abstract

As technology develops, ICT competence becomes important for teachers, especially English teachers, to facilitate more effective learning. This study aims to explore the ICT competencies of English teachers in grades X and XI of SMKN 7 Pekanbaru. This research uses content analysis method by selecting appropriate participants from grades X and XI of SMKN 7 Pekanbaru. Two English teachers who teach in grades X and XI were interviewed, according to the indicators of ICT competence, namely aspects of ICT understanding, curriculum and assessment, pedagogic, ICT use, organizational and administrative aspects, and teacher professional learning. Data obtained from interviews and documentation were analyzed, and the results showed that teachers' competence in the use of ICT is quite good, with the use of devices such as computers, mobile phones, and infocus. In teaching, English teachers use PowerPoint, Ms Word, Google Classroom, and 3D Blender as teaching materials. The ICT competencies used by teachers receive positive responses from students, who feel motivated and enthusiastic about participating in the learning process using ICT tools and completing assignments. It is recommended that English teachers continue to improve ICT competencies to shape students' ICT skills in English language learning.
