This study examines the impact of online discussion forums on student achievement in reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and critical thinking in English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction. Fifty-four senior high school students were divided into three groups for the study. Data were gathered from achievement posttests, perception surveys, and procedural interviews. The results indicate that online discussion forums did not enhance students' performance in reading, grammar, or vocabulary. However, they did positively influence students' writing skills and stimulated critical thinking in face-to-face discussions. Additionally, instructor interventions were found to affect students' attitudes towards online discussions and promote critical thinking during these discussions.
