Interaction is one of the important aspects of effective learning environment.
Interaction can take place in different forms. It may be between a student and
course materials, student and learning activities, student and teacher and among
students. Computer-mediated communication (CMC) offers a type of interaction
which is different from the traditional teacher-based classroom as it provides the
learners multiple opportunities to explore alternative means to interact with
teachers, peers, course material and activities. The present study focuses on
feedback of the students who attended online courses of MA Teaching of English
as a Foreign Language (TEFL) offered by the Department of English Language
and Applied Linguistics of Allama Iqbal Open Univerisy (AIOU). In this
experimental study, two groups of students were selected randomly for CMCbased instructions in 2007 and 2008. The results of the experimentation
suggested that the use of CMC in the existing distance education system
improved peer interaction in a virtual classroom which helped students in their
learning and professional development.
