The present research study was conducted in one of the private sector universities of Lahore city in Pakistan. This study has utilized a quantitative paradigm that included a single group pre-test post-test experimental design. The problem identified was a less developed English language grammar skill in the students and also how to teach English language successfully to the large classes i.e. consisting of 50 to 60 students. The main purpose was to develop some plans to facilitate the large classes. A single group quasi-experiment was conducted for four months (one semester) to find out whether the implementation of the Learning Management System (LMS) for the teaching of the English language is successful or not. The rationale of the study was to provide detailed lesson plans and analysis of how the teaching is done through the LMS in large English language classes like having 50 to 65 students per class. The results showed that LMS or the Learning Management System proved to be successful for teaching English to large classes as it saved time for the teachers and students both along with providing ample guidance and support. The present study is significant as it provides a guideline for other institutes on how they can also utilize this software effectively for teaching the English language.

This study aimed to investigate the use of the Learning Management System (LMS) to teach English Grammar subject in online learning during a covid-19 outbreak. This study was descriptive qualitative research with second-semester students as the subjects of the study. They were students from the English department taking Structure 2 as the compulsory subject. The data were collected by conducting a survey to 71 students who were purposely selected to know the optimization of using LMS in teaching English Grammar during the covid -19 outbreak. The questionnaire was used to do a survey. The results show that the materials uploaded in the LMS are useful to help students understand English Grammar, especially for the topic taught in the second semester. Furthermore, the use of quiz features in LMS can motivate them to learn since they can know the results and the correct answer directly from the LMS. It also can increase students' confidence when doing the same test. However, it was found that the use of LMS cannot replace the direct explanation method from the teacher which is still stated as an effective way of teaching English Grammar subjects.

Learning Management System (LMS) has become an integral part of education technology in every institution. Almost all the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are using LMS to facilitate their teaching and learning processes. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of LMS and the basic perception of students on the usage of LMS and various plugins to support their learning process not only to ensure its quality but also to evaluate different strategies for its future enhancement. Hence, this study adopts a developmental evaluation framework to assess students’ satisfaction and perception of using the (LMS) in their experiential Flipped Learning (FL) of English language modules. The methodology follows the pragmatic paradigm based on Dewey’s theory to allow for mixed-method instruments to be employed for a better understanding of the LMS, exploring its challenges and opportunities. This small-scale evaluative study involved a survey of 70 respondents and a focus group of ten students in a private HEI in Oman to explore their FL experience in English modules. The depiction of this experience represented positive responses emphasizing how FL technology-enhanced individualized/experiential learning reinforced in life-long learning skills suitable for career practice. Recommendations are offered for LMS to facilitate enhanced flipped teaching implementation, promoting a student-centered environment ideal for a broader approach of active learning in HEI contexts.

This article attempts to describe the potential of the MOODLE learning management system contributing to the creative self-development in the process of teaching the subject “Oral and Written Speech Practice of the English Language” to students of the “Pedagogical Education” training programme. Despite the impersonality and seeming universality of the digital educational environment, it can act as a means of developing students' individual creative abilities so much needed in the era of the post-industrial society. The main objective of the article is to show possible ways of using the MOODLE learning management system for the creative self-development of students. A wide range of the MOODLE tools helps to increase individualization of education and build students’ individual educational trajectories. In the work with such elements as Forum, Glossary, Database, Assignment and Wiki interaction between students and teachers in the development of new knowledge with creative potential comes to the fore. The conclusions of the article can be applicable in the process of organizing activities in the electronic learning system at the stage of working out assignments aimed at the creative self-development of students.

An array of teaching tools have been developed enormously today sparking interest for educators in their instruction. Edmodo, which is also one of the CALL applications that can be accessed online both from computer and mobile telephone is one option for teachers and students and can be operated to post various things related to EFL teaching-learning process. However, many educators are reluctant to embed with them pedagogical function which coming along in the use of Edmodo. This research employed open-ended questionnaire which is spread to English Language Education ULM students who are taking Extensive Reading course. This research contributes to picture out perception in implementing Edmodo as Web-Quest as well Learning Management System (LMS) in online classroom instructional activities. The result of this study shows that the involvement of Edmodo to material delivery still does not encounter the predicted expectation. The limited storing material in the application and lack of feedback of the task through the media are the reasons of the barrier. In conclusion, the use of Edmodo needs to be developed along with the mindset of students centered activities.
