Abstract: This paper reports the results of a study conducted among first-year Foundation
Program English Language (FPEL) students, English teachers and FPEL course coordinators
at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in Oman with the aim to examine the use of Moodle
forums for advancing writing and study skills of the students in higher level FPEL courses
by participating in asynchronous discussions, interacting with other students and/or the
teacher, and exchanging ideas by posting comments. In addition, students’, teachers’ and
course coordinators’ perceptions about the discussion forum as an activity in an e-learning
environment that can successfully contribute to FPEL curriculum writing and study skills
goals and teaching approaches were examined with regard to the attainment of learning
outcomes (LOs). Data were collected by interviewing teachers and course coordinators,
conducting an online survey for students, monitoring students’ participation in forum
activities and analyzing the policy documents related to writing and study skills components
of FPEL 0560 course. The results of the study corroborate some significant findings of the
previous work in the field, and clearly demonstrate that Moodle forums support writing
fluency, allow students more time for developing ideas and working on their writing and
study skills’ assignments. Additionally, forums foster a sense of purpose and community, as
well as contribute to communication skills’ development of language learners through online
language learning environment by responding to online assignments, inviting feedback,
commenting on/grading other students’ comments, seeking and providing help with purposes
of enhancing, reinforcing and researching.
