The results showed that the use of the Moodle platform has a regular performance (45.7%), while English reading comprehension is in process (39.7%). It was concluded that the use of the Moodle platform has a significant influence on English reading comprehension, being this influence high (Nagelkerke’s R2 = 0.808).
