The use e-learning at university has been justified by the need for a better and more flexible learning environment. From its inception, however, it has generated its share of debate about whether it can improve students’ learning or teach them what is seen as more traditional skills (i.e.reading/listening comprehension). Using Means et al. (2010), work on e-learning and that of Westhoff (2003) on foreign language pedagogy, this paper explores the use of elearning to improve reading/listening skills. More specifically, this paper will focus on the use of the feedback function (Bellon and Blank 1992) to enhance students’ performance. Its speed, consistency and frequency is of particular relevance in an e-learning environment.
