Abstract :
This paper explores the significance of developing a virtual language learning system to enhance the production of correct grammatical sentences of Assumption University students. The research seeks to understand how to alleviate a demanding problem students of English have here in Thailand, that is grammar, and provide them with well-grounded guides to remedial action. The paper argues that the development of a Moodle-based tutoring system for sentence grammar practice is particularly timely in importance. It begins by highlighting the characteristics of the new Interaction Age, and the widening gap between the traditional classroom and the virtual classroom. The paper then presents the proposed research methodology, with its two main components, the eGrammar Clinic development and The Experiment, followed by data collection and analysis.
