Abstract
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 “studying abroad.” By using MOOCs, learners may be able to enhance Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP) beyond Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS), which is indispensable to be active in a globalized world. The aim of this study was to find out dimensions of learning with MOOCs for English learners which have an effect on English proficiency. After a pilot study, the main study found 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.
