Abstract The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in many aspects of life, not only, has brought dramatic changes in the paradigms and methods practiced in the developed countries, but also, it has been expanded in developing countries. The present paper attempts to explore and shed lights on the perceptions towards the ICT use in high schools in Morocco, as a developing country, and South Korea, as a developed country. To this end, a mixed method has been designed and conducted with a total of 412 high school students and 212 EFL teachers; including the focus group participants. In this study we review the related literature and we have chosen the two appropriate research instruments to collect the data; a survey questionnaire for 400 students and a survey questionnaire for 200 EFL teachers, and a focus group for 12 students and 12 teachers. The findings reveal the levels of ICT skills of the participated teachers and students. Additionally, the data collected demonstrate that although both students and teachers possess positive attitudes towards the ICT use in EFL classrooms, the ICT integration in learning and teaching has two sides impact, positive and negative, not only on students but on teachers as well. The results recommend that ICT in education should be given higher consideration than it currently receives.
