The Impact of Integrating ICT in Malay Foreign Language Teaching and Learning

Abstract

COVID-19 affects 213 countries and territories around the world. This pandemic prompts substantial negative repercussions on social, health, economic, education, and tourism domains. New norms of life activities are designed as a solution so that life can be continued as before. This situation includes the education field, whereby various methods are created so that the progression of learning and teaching can be carried out even in limited circumstances. An imperative solution was chosen to integrate ICT into this field. Thus, the ICT applications in teaching and learning were the researchers’ focus of attention. This research centred predominantly on Malay foreign language teaching and learning that must adapt and renew itself to be compatible with the ICT. The goal of this study was to examine the impact of ICT and highlight the positive effects of it in order to keep up with the prevailing situation of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. The writing of this paper was based on research focusing on Malay foreign language teaching and learning using ICT. Studies revealed that the application of ICT in language learning begins to get recognition from educators. Although there are some strengths in integrating the ICT on the other, it still holds considerable vulnerability which requires improvements to be made in order to meet teaching and learning requirements. Therefore, this study further illustrated the level of impact of integrating ICT in the education as a source of reference to the educator and education apps developer who created more sophisticate apps and fulfilled the demand of education. This analysis too would become a reference to literature review in extemporising the quality of teaching and learning in Malay foreign language.
