This paper discusses the use of Moodle as a platform for teaching Arabic in a task-based teaching environment. The LMS was used to develop students’ Arabic writing skills. Over the course of one semester, 15 pre-university students in an FL Arabic course submitted their term paper via the LMS and discussed their work using the same platform. The comparison was also made between the products of the two tasks. The study found that the quality of writing improved and there was a positive correlation between the number of words used in discussing the topic and the quality of writing produced.
