There are many reasons why teachers of English as a Foreign Language should use different teaching methods so as to engage, motivate, teach and reach the students in their classes, whether face to face or online. Being a Moodle enthusiast, I know that there are many reasons why using Moodle lets teachers save considerable time and effort to focus more on communicative tasks. Moodle supports language learning, and how students can improve Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing (The four language skills). To be sure, it helps teachers provide different activities so that pupils learn a lot of vocabulary, too.
It should not come as a surprise that one of the teaching and learning methods The English Inspectorate at The Israel Ministry of Education is promoting is Practical Problem Based Learning (PPBL). Using Moodle both to train teachers in the methodology, and as a Moodle Template for teachers to use with their students is the chosen venue.
