The purpose of THE research is a quantitative analysis of the online courses for learning English, which are presented on the international (Udemy, Alison, FutureLearn, edX) and Ukrainian (Prometheus and EdEra) online platforms. During the research, we used quantitative research methods, which involved direct observation of the number of online courses on popular MOOC platforms as of January 2023. The similar criteria for comparing MOOC were the number of online courses, level of training, cost, and type of the course completion document. The analyzed online platforms contain 1675 courses on learning English. On the analyzed MOOC 1350 online courses (80.5%) are payable. Users can enroll on the courses of such levels as Beginner (699 courses, 41.7%), Intermediate (336 courses, 20.1%), Advanced (66 courses, 3.9%), and the courses without a specified level of training (574 courses, 34.3%).
