Abstract :The objectives of this research are to analyze EFL learners’ attitudes toward the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the English learning process and to describe the EFL learners’ attitudes toward ICT in science class, social class, and language class. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method. The data of this research were taken from 95 students of SMA Negeri 2 Palu. In collecting the data for this research, the researcher used a questionnaire and semi-structured interview. To answer four research questions, the findings found that: (1) there is no doubt that the students are positive with regard to ICT use; (2) The science learners show a positive attitude since they like the visual appeal ICTs offer in the classroom; (3) The social learners show the positive attitude because they know they should acquire wide range of skills during the use of ICT;(4) The language learners have the positive attitude since they understand that ICT will be used forever. The results of the data analysis from the interview and questionnaire show that the attitude of EFL learners toward the ICT is positive since they want to learn how to operate the ICT if they have the opportunity, the utilization of ICT has enabled learners to access information from the internet more effectively.
