The multi-functionality of Learning-Management System (LMS) such as Moodle is integrated in English language classrooms to enhance students' learning. To facilitate the importance of teacher preparation for E-learning use, it is important to study the facts influencing teachers in integrating Moodle into their English classrooms and to explore the opinion from students who learn English by using Moodle. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed in this study. The results showed that 6 of 18 teachers from School of English at Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) used Moodle to supplement their English language teaching. Most of them used the uploading and sharing documents feature in order to assign students' homework and encouraged students to download learning material outside the class to practice their English learning skills. It was also found that Moodle facilitates student-centered and anytime-anywhere learning. Moreover, it makes course administration easier and helps to reduce the cost and time of delivering instruction. In addition, 213 students were asked questions on using Moodle, the results showed they had positive opinions toward learning English via Moodle. However, there are some disadvantages of using Moodle in English language teaching as network and technical problems were also discussed in the study. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of International Journal of the Humanities is the property of Common Ground Research Networks and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
