Teacher education and how to develop teacher professional development are increasingly being researched. There is a dearth of knowledge about the application of Moodle in EAP teacher education programs (Arno-Macia, 2012). Some studies in this field attempted to fill the gap in the literature by investigating the impact of Moodle on the professional development of EAP teachers. The findings revealed a statistically significant relationship between Moodle-based teacher education programs and the professional development of EAP teachers (Nazari et al., 2019). Based on the current research results, Moodle provided direct communication between the teacher and the students, which significantly helped students improve their knowledge in EAP. The interviewees reported significant disadvantages, including internet connection problems and the need for technological devices. The findings of this study can be viewed as a general motivator for educational policymakers to invest more in Online Educational Programs rather than seeing them as an alternative to traditional teacher training programs.
