The purpose of this study is to suggest that English Learning through Web-based Instruction can improve students' English ability, in particular, listening comprehension and reading comprehension. In this study, I designed the Web-based experimental instrument focusing on listening and reading section. It was then applied to the English class of high school. In this study, three types of tests, pre-test, mid-test, and post-test, were carried out to research the variation in academic achievement between the experimental group and the comparative one. From these academic achievement tests, the result showed that the more the students took English classes through Web-based Instruction, compared with traditional instruction, the bigger the gap of achievement level became between the two groups; the experimental group scored much higher in both the mid-test and post-test than the pre-test. The three achievement tests indicated that English learning thought Web-based Instruction was more positive and effective than the traditional English class. As society develops from an industrial to a knowledge, information, and communication-based society, the educational circumstances should differ from the past accordingly. To keep pace with a rapidly developing society, new types methodology is required in education. Therefore English learning through Web-based Instruction is one of the most effective teaching methods available in English education today.
