Abstract—This paper’s main aim is to identify and discuss the areas of E-learning strategy of EFL(English as Foreign Language) Pedagogy in talents management that are important in describing the state of university teaching and students learning, specifically related to the need for systems and actions for student support system. As a basis for illustrating E-learning strategy of EFL pedagogy in talents management the paper presents different theoretical approaches to distance teaching and learning such as student independence and autonomy, teaching-learning conversation, guided didactic conversation, continuity of concern for students and cooperative learning and constructivism. The paper further discusses the conflict of interest between students who prefer cooperative learning methods and students who both prefer and need a high degree of flexibility to be able to enroll and succeed in E-learning programs. The paper also discusses different models explaining E-learning education of talents management. High quality E-learning education systems have traditionally emphasized student support and continuous concern for management from enrolment to completion. It is the author’s view that theory and practices from online education are valid for E-learning and should be implemented into E-learning practice for the sake of talents management. Finally, the author presents a theoretical framework for student support services in online distance education with his own study. The conclusion of this paper is to identify the pedagogical principles underlying the teaching and learning activities that constitute effective E-Learning in talents management. An analysis and synthesis of the principles and ideas by practicing E-learning will also be presented, in the perspective of deploying an effective Learning Management Systems (LMS) as means of EFL pedagogy in talents management .
