The data were gained from primary and secondary sources; those are a 15-item ICT use questionnaire, a 20-item learning attitude questionnaire, and documentation of students’ writing.

The value of adjusted r2 was 0.114 which means ICT use and learning attitude contributed 11.4 % to the students’ English academic paragraph writing.Key words: ICT, learning attitude, academic paragraph writing
