Abstract: Quick English Composition (QEC) cloud software was a software used to increase students’ English writing skills while decreasing teachers’ workload. The study intended to investigate whether the use of QEC could bring any positive impact in critical thinking, English language proficiency, and student satisfaction. A pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design was used in the study. The quantitative measures in the study were English language proficiency tests, a critical thinking scale, and a student satisfaction survey. The qualitative measure used here was individual student semi-structured interviews. After a sixteen-week intervention, an independent t-test was used to compare the means on the measures. The research results revealed that the students with the assistance of QEC had higher critical thinking ability, as well as English language proficiencies. In addition, they had greater satisfaction toward their English course than those not using the cloud software.
