        abstract = {The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become an important component of effective English Language Teaching (ELT), particularly at the secondary school level where learners’ linguistic foundations are strengthened. The present study examines the use of ICT tools in English Language Teaching among secondary school teachers in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh. Adopting a descriptive survey method, the study was conducted on a sample of 200 secondary school English teachers, selected through stratified random sampling. The demographic variables considered for analysis were gender, locality (rural and urban), school type (boys’, girls’ and co-educational schools), and management (government and private schools). Data were collected using a structured questionnaire designed to measure teachers’ access to ICT resources, frequency and types of ICT tools used in English classrooms, perceptions of the effectiveness of ICT in developing language skills, and challenges faced in integrating technology into teaching. The collected data were analysed using appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings of the study indicate that secondary school English teachers generally hold a positive attitude towards the use of ICT tools in ELT. However, variations were observed in the extent and nature of ICT usage with respect to locality and school management, with urban and private school teachers reporting relatively higher levels of ICT integration. Major constraints identified include inadequate infrastructure, limited training opportunities and time constraints within the prescribed curriculum. The study highlights the need for systematic teacher training, improved infrastructural support and institutional encouragement to promote effective ICT integration in English Language Teaching. The results are expected to provide valuable insights for educators, administrators and policy-makers aiming to enhance the quality of ELT through technology at the secondary school level.},
