Abstract (2. Language): 
This study examined the perceptions, effectiveness, and problems faced by teachers in the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in teaching and learning of Chinese language in schools and teachers’ views and interests on ICT courses. The Instructional Design Model by Dick and Carey (1990) was modified as a conceptual framework of this study to develop a questionnaire. The sample consisted of 549 teachers in Chinese National Primary schools (SJK(C), National Secondary Schools (SMK/SMJK), and Chinese Private Independent Schools in Johor, Selangor, Penang and Sabah. One-way ANOVA analysis shows that the state, school type, level of computer skills, and the frequency of teachers using ICT in teaching and learning of Chinese produce significant differences between respondents in ICT usage in teaching and learning of Chinese language in general. Teachers who are more skilled were found to be more effective in application of ICT teaching and delivery of Chinese language. To enhance the use of ICT, then ICT courses must be widely introduced to the Chinese language teachers, and not just focused on teachers of English, science and mathematics only.
