The aim of this research was to describe teachers' preferences for using ICT in ELT and teachers' needs in relation to ICT use in the ELT process. In this research, the authors used a descriptive method by involving 46 senior secondary school teachers of English in South Sulawesi. The sample was taken using the cluster sampling technique. The research results show that: 1) teachers' preference for ICT use in ELT was high; and 2) most English teachers needed training on generic computer applications and in Internet based e-learning programmes. They also needed an ICT technician, additional ICT hardware and learning software, and additional Internet bandwidth capacity. The conclusion drawn by the authors is that the ICT hardware at schools was not yet adequate, but that the teachers already had adequate basic ICT skills, which provide the potential to be further developed. © WIETE 2017.
