To improve the quality of teaching English Literature, the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the teaching of literature is considered an important aspect. However, past studies suggests that using ICT needs knowledge, positive attitudes towards ICT and good ICT skills to accomplish teaching and learning efficiently and effectively. Since teachers’ attitude is a major predictor in the process of using ICT, this study investigated the attitudes of English teachers in Sarawak towards using ICT in English Literature component. The study use quantitative methods to find out teachers’ attitudes, their perceived usefulness and ease of use of the ICT. It further seeks the challenges that may hinder the use of ICT in literature lessons. It is also to examine if there is any significant relationship between teachers’ attitudes and their perceived usefulness and ease of use. 173 English teachers from various secondary schools in Sarawak have been selected as the sample. They were given questionnaires and SPSS Version 22 was used to complete the analysis of the collected data. The study revealed that the teachers possessed positive attitudes towards the use of ICT in Literature lessons. However, the analysis of the data also showed several challenges that might hamper the possibility of using ICT in Literature lessons. Analysis also shows there is significant correlation and a strong relationship between teachers’ attitudes and perceived usefulness. Significant correlation also exists between teachers’ attitudes and perceived ease of use although they showed a weak relationship. This study also discussed the implications and recommendations for further study.
