Abstract
This is a study on the Use of ICTs in English Language Learning: A
Case of Semester Students at Tribhuvan University was an attempt to
find out the students’ perceived importance and what, and how M.Ed.
students use different search engines to examine their experiences of ICTs
use in learning English language at Tribhuvan university. In order to
provide the valuable insight about their experience in the use of ICTs, I
have adopted narrative inquiry as the research design. The study was
entirely based on primary sources of data. The primary sources of data were
four participant students using ICTs at Tribhuvan University. I collected
data through face to face open ended interview, narrative journal and
observation of activities. The collected data were first viewed holistically
then analyzed thematically. The research data collected by individual
student interview and reflection indicated that learning occurs with many
hindrances like affordability, lack of adequate knowledge to operate ICT
tools as well as difficulty to find appropriate search engines while using
ICTs. Further, the findings also showed that students experience different
changes by the use of ICTs. Similarly, students are found using different
sorts of ICTs at the university. It was also found that ICTs uses are effective
and beneficial one.
