The efficiency of online English language instruction on students' reading skills

Internet is the most important technological innovation which can easily be integrated into every field of people's lives. Web is a new technology which is used as a communication facilitator and an instructional delivery medium. Today, web-assisted teaching and learning is replacing traditional teaching and learning methods and thus, I aimed to determine if Faculty of Law students in Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) are learning better when the reading instruction is assisted by the web. The result showed that Law students are more successful in web-assisted instruction. This study has a vital significant since the result affects the curriculum of the English courses. EMU should have web-based teaching and learning, as today it is the growing educational tool for future teaching and learning styles. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
