This study evaluates the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools as supporting features in teaching learning progress for student of mechanical engineering. Related to the sufficient of physical instrument provided by the staff management, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools are now available and ready to be used and applied in teaching and learning progress in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, State University of Jakarta. But still several obstacles are emerged due to the access to the internet. This paper focuses on the availability to use ICT tools in teaching English in the department of mechanical engineering to develop student achievement in Basic Technical English course. This research article argues that the physical equipment and facility are not the main factor in maintaining the use of ICT while the lack of access to the internet may embrace the progress in teaching learning activity. This study discusses the methods and techniques in teaching and learning progress that can be used to cope with the poor access to the internet. As a conclusion, using ICT tools in teaching and learning activity through off-lined activities can help students in acquiring effective communicative competence in English lesson. The method of investigation used to collect the data was observation sheets supported by some interviews conducted in department of mechanical engineering, State University of Jakarta. The participants of research were the students who had taken the course.
