Abstract

The chapter gives an overview of the current literature on e-learning goals and theoretical background of design of e-learning courses. Conditions of successful implementation of e-learning include technical, organizational, pedagogical, and psychological conditions. The chapter explains terms such as computer-assisted language learning and digital literacy. The author clarifies some issues related to efficient e-learning course delivery, including the learner and teacher perception. A practical example of an online Business English course in the Moodle system at the university level is analyzed. Student and instructor feedback provides insight into problems and obstacles in learning languages in the online mode. The chapter offers recommendations for online course design and lists issues that need special attention and that will be addressed in future research.
