Abstract

As a global lingua franca, English language is the main and necessary standard in everyday communication today. The lack of knowledge of English can be a huge obstacle to scientific papers reading, international cooperation, scientific papers presentation and career progress. For all the above mentioned reasons, English is compulsory, two-semester course during all four years of undergraduate academic studies in all faculties at Singidunum University, both for regular students and DLS (distance learning system) students. Moodle platform is the main tool for foreign language learning for DLS students. This paper presents the analysis of the usage of Moodle in English language teaching at Singidunum University, as well as all advantages and disadvantages that the platform has. All functions of platform are taken into consideration, both for vocabulary teaching and for all four language skills (listening, reading, writing, speaking). The aim of the paper is to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of Moodle platform in English language teaching in order to use online learning as an additional tool in regular lectures.
