One of the most debated issues regarding the use of the Internet for foreign language learning is whether it is more efficient than classroom teaching, and how certain students perceive or react to it. Several studies have investigated the effectiveness of learning vocabulary and grammar for reading and writing via the Internet, but few have been conducted on developing conversational skills with the help of the Moodle E-learning delivery platform. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the use of the Internet in thirty class lessons for nursing students enrolled in an English conversation class at a university in northern Thailand, compared with the use of routine techniques in classroom settings. Research results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores of the students in the classroom group, as well as in the online group. However, there was no significant difference between the posttest scores of students in both groups although learning perceptions by students in both groups were interestingly controversial.
