| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
MOOCs have opened a new door in promoting lifelong learning and quality education around the globe. Besides learning specific knowledge and skills, MOOCs may be useful for English language learners by providing similar opportunities to “study abroad.” The aim of this research was to find out what learning dimensions are affected when using MOOCs to improve the English proficiency of English learners. After a series of pilot studies and the main study, the results revealed that that there are three dimensions of MOOCs for English learners: Open Learning, Academic Self-efficacy, and Intercultural Communication. These dimensions will be useful in measuring the effects of English language learning with MOOCs. Furthermore, the study suggests teaching strategies based on the empirical studies.
