Abstract Low performance of EFL student teachers implies lack of some teaching skills and the inability to adapt to, manage and evaluate different teaching situations. One of the basic reasons of this problem is the inadequacy of some teacher education programs. Therefore, this study presented a new program that benefited from Moodle capabilities as one of the Learning Management Systems to provide an accessible and practical training. The subjects were twenty fourth year English student teachers, Faculty of education, Fayoum University. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of that program on developing EFL student teachers’ use of teaching skills, interactive decision-making skills and their attitudes towards integrating e-learning in their future teaching. The study employed a quasi-experimental one group pre post-test design. The study tools included an e-learning program based on methods of TEFL, a teacher performance observation sheet, a situation reaction test and an attitude scale towards e-learning. Pre-testing of the dependent variables was undertaken. The experimentation of the program lasted for 10 weeks. T-test was used for analyzing the obtained data. Findings showed significant effects. Cohen’s d used on the obtained data, indicated large effect sizes. Discussion of results, recommendations and suggestions of research studies were presented.
