In addition, use <strong>of</strong> discussion boards in language learning makes students more autonomous <strong>and</strong> maintains high motivation amongst the students to participate in discussion boards which produced better language learning (Donaldson, & Kotter, 1999). The study revealed that use <strong>of</strong> discussion boards has a positive effect on ESL students’ learning. As a successful case <strong>of</strong> English language learning, we believe that the more interaction occurs in online environment between students to students <strong>and</strong> students to an instructor in the case <strong>of</strong> language learning, the more student learning <strong>and</strong> use <strong>of</strong> different teaching strategies are encouraged. Future studies can focus on the analysis <strong>of</strong> discussions, as well as quantitative results with larger samples. In addition, conducting interview with students can help researchers to support the results. REFERENCES [1] Blake, R. (2000).
