Deliberative teacher agency: a phenomenological study on ICT integration in writing instruction by Indonesian EFL educators

Abstract

This phenomenological study explores how Indonesian EFL teachers exercise deliberative teacher agency in integrating ICT tools for writing instruction. Drawing on Molla and Nolan’s framework, six dimensions are identified: reflection, thoughtfulness, collaboration, adaptation, evidence-based practice, and growth. The study reveals both benefits and challenges of ICT integration, emphasizing the role of context-sensitive and reflective decision-making.
