Abstract
Reading comprehension depicted as the most important skills and a complex cognitive process for the achievement of success or learning outcome in both school and society where reader’s prior knowledge and experiences serve central roles in the interpretation of a text or the interaction of the reader, the text, and the context. The purpose of the exploratory study was to investigate the effect of the Moodle e-learning on EFL reading comprehension. 27 EFL college students were participating in the study. Data were collected through the pretest and posttest of reading comprehension. Data analysis involved three stages: normality test, homogeneity test, and hypothesis testing by utilizing software statistical package for social science (SPSS) for the window. Results indicate that the use of Moodle e-learning has a significant effect on improving students’ reading comprehension.
