The study examined ICT competencies needed by teachers for effective teaching of English language in Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study. Descriptive survey design was adopted. Researchers’ constructed 23 items questionnaire was used to collect data from 54 English language teachers. The reliability coefficient of the instrument stood at 0.80. The data collected were analyzed using mean. Findings revealed among others that English language teachers in secondary schools in Awka South possess the basic computer operational skills which are usually for official use not basically for classroom. They do not have enough competence in the use of power-point which is the appropriate skill needed for classroom teaching and learning. The findings also revealed that English language teachers possess Interactive white board competence but their competence is inadequate for effective teaching and learning of English language and could not competently teach speaking skills of English language because they cannot draw English sounds with Interactive white board. It was recommended that State Ministry of Education should make it compulsory for teachers to teach with computers in all secondary schools.
