dc.description	This article examines the transformative impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. ICT facilitates effective learning by providing access to di-verse information, allowing students to relate it to their courses and engage in discussions with peers and educators. The benefits extend to EFL teachers, enabling a shift towards learner-centered approaches through multimedia resources and direct contact with English speakers around the world. The objectives of the study encompass the analysis of the transformative use of ICT in ILE classrooms, the identification of best practices and tools used by educators, and the recognition of challenges associated with this integration. The article se-lection process involved filtering those related to ICT in EFL classrooms, excluding those focused solely on the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain a perspective in which ICT was not the only resource available. ProQuest served as the primary database, supplemented with cross-referencing in ResearchGate, Scopus, Web of Scien-ce, and Google Scholar. The review covers articles published between 2018 and 2024, using a variety of research methodologies, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed studies. Three key research themes emerge bene-fits of ICT use in EFL classrooms, challenges in ICT integration, and ICT methodologies and tools employed. In addition, frequency tables are presented detailing the distribution of articles by research topic and country.
