To achieve that aim, teachers’questionnaire was used. The teachers’ questionnaire aimed at finding out teachers’ atittudes towards the use of ICT in the teaching English language inside classrooms. This research paper is based on the assumption that teachers’ atittudes have impact on ICT integration in secondary schools. A sample composed of twenty seven teachers from different secondary schools in Jijel was used. The findings showed that if teachers hold positive atittudes towards the use of ICT in teaching English in secondary schools, they will succeed in using it. Based on the findings of this research, some pedagogical recommendations are suggested to facilitate the integration of ICT in secondary schools.
