This study investigated the types of ICT Tools (Information and Communication Technology Tools) used by English teachers and their motivation for integrating these tools in the English learning process at SMAN 1 Pangkalpinang. The research was guided by Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan), which emphasized the psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The population of this research was all teachers at SMAN 1 Pangkalpinang. The sample consisted of all English teachers, selected using purposive sampling. In this study, the sample was referred to as informants. English Teachers’ Motivation in this research referred to the internal and external psychological factors that drove teachers to utilize ICT tools in their teaching practices, especially as influenced by their sense of autonomy, perceived competence, and connection with their students and teaching environment. The teaching process was viewed as a systematic and interactive activity designed to facilitate students’ learning through both traditional and modern approaches, where teachers acted as facilitators and utilized ICT tools to enhance engagement and comprehension. The findings showed that teachers employed various ICT tools such as Learning Management Systems (e.g., Google Classroom), Presentation Tools (e.g., PowerPoint), Communication Tools (e.g., WhatsApp), Online Assessment Tools (e.g., Google Forms, Quizizz), Social Media Platforms (e.g., YouTube, Edmodo), and Digital Content Creation Tools (e.g., Canva). Teachers demonstrated intrinsic motivation, particularly in their freedom to choose ICT tools that aligned with their teaching preferences, and in their efforts to improve digital competence. In conclusion, the integration of ICT tools in English teaching at SMAN 1 Pangkalpinang was strongly influenced by internal motivation and aligned with the key components of Self-Determination Theory.
