The current study investigated the effectiveness of an ESP program in developing some suggested computer-based language instructional skills among secondary stage EFL teachers. Forty teachers were randomly chosen and assigned as participants in the training sessions held during the academic year 2017-2018. The study adopted the quasi-experimental design and qualitative interpretation. For carrying out the experimental treatment, the researcher designed and developed the following instruments to be administered as pre-post applications: (1) a questionnaire for identifying teachers’ attitudes towards integrating technology in EFL instruction and (2) an Ed Tech knowledge test for investigating the effectiveness of the program in developing the identified computer-based instructional skills. Ttest was employed to measure the differences between the means of the experimental group’s performances in the pre-post treatments. The findings indicated that there were statistically significant differences in the mean scores of the pre-post applications of the instruments. These positive results have made it clear that the program was successful in developing the teachers’ computer-based instructional skills and was of a great help in integrating information and communication technology (ICT) in teaching EFL. Consequently, this success led to the rejection of the null hypotheses and accepting the alternative ones.
