The study adopted the quasi-experimental design. The sample of the research consisted of a group of Pre-Masters TEFL students. The sample of the research has been assigned to three experimental groups. The research employed Synchronous and Asynchronous applications, namely; team viewer and facebook. Tools of the study included a conversational skill checklist, a pre-post conversational skills test and a conversational skill rating scale. Results revealed that there were statistically significant differences at 0.01 levels for the overall conversational skill and only one sub-skill (namely, using discourse markers effectively) in the favor of the post administration.

Finally, the research provided beneficial contributions in relation to manipulating e-learning technologies in general and CL strategy in particular   with respect to language learning.
