The subjects of the study are 100 English Department students. They are from second, fourth, and sixth semester. The result of the study shows that positive responses are given by the students’ general view about electronic dictionaries in learning English. It means that most of the students agree and have positive responses that electronic dictionaries can support their learning English. This tool can help to motivate their learning process. Electronic dictionaries can increase their vocabulary knowledge, grammatical, and pronunciation. On the other hand, students have some problems when they are using electronic dictionaries. The common problem is that the students can get information quickly and become soonest forgotten. The other problem is that the meaning in ED is not relevant to the context.
