3.3. Using blogs for language teaching 
WHAT IS A BLOG?

A blog is a type of website. A blog is short for weblog, which is a simple 
online diary that allows you to publish, date and list your periodic thoughts, opinions 
and musings on a particular topic or idea, generally in reverse chronological order 
(i.e. whatever you publish last appears first).

Blogs enable users to post regular entries (or blog posts) and these can include 
news, comments, and descriptions of events, photos or videos. There are many free 
blog services, and blogs are very easy to use and have a clean, professional look that 
makes them very attractive to use.

To blog is also a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. A typical 
blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media 
related to its topic. Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments 
and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that 
distinguishes them from other static websites, and makes them particularly attractive 
in teaching and learning. 
You can use blogs as a source of reading material for your classes, to create a 
class blog for your students or blog yourself!

Most blogs are mainly text-based, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs 
(photo blog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcast). Edublogs are 
blogs with an educational goal: to help in the process of teaching learning within an 
educational context.

BLOG SEARCH ENGINES
To find relevant blogs, you can use a blog search engine. The best ones are:
• Technorati,


31 
• BlogScope,
• Google Blog Search.
You can search for blogs or blog postings about specific topics 
Task 1

To find five blogs about tourism in Ethiopia in the language you teach and 
share them in Edmodo.

To make a comment in a blog, take a picture and share it in Edmodo.

Why would I want to use blogs and blogging in my teaching? A blog provides 
“a genuine audience, is authentically communicative, process driven, peer reviewed, 
provides a disinhibiting context and offers a completely new form with unchartered 
creative potential”. 
Because… 1. The regular practice of reading and writing is very useful in 
learning a language, particularly in distance learning, independent study and blended 
teaching contexts. 2. Blogs are a useful tool to use in your teaching, both a source of 
reading material and as a way to structure writing activities and peer reviewing. 
For reading Blogs, are an excellent source of up to date reading material: 
encourage your students to find a blog they really enjoy and subscribe to it? This 
should be motivating, and provide a real reason for reading! 
To disseminate student-generated content A blog can be a window into your 
classroom. You can encourage your students to post their work there (especially if 
you use the blog for a particular project): students often get an immense sense of 
satisfaction from having their work “published”, and blogging is indeed a form of 
publishing.

For sustained, regular writing Blogging regularly has been shown to have a 
positive impact on learners’ writing fluency and to increase their motivation to write 
for a broad audience. You might want to encourage your students to keep a blog that 
they post to regularly (like a diary or journal), or set up a class blog and encourage 
students to take turns to write blog postings.

For discussion and peer review Blogs offer students an opportunity to interact 
with peers and to learn from each other. Because they enable readers to post 
comments to blog postings, they offer a forum for discussion. For instance, you 
could encourage students to post about culture, politics, travel, or other areas of 
personal interest, and ask other students to comment on posts they find interesting. 
Feedback from your peers on your blog posts can be enormously motivating. 
To increase opportunities for interaction outside the classroom Students can 
comment on each other’s’ blog posts outside the classroom. This contributes to 
creating a sense of community, and takes learning and peer interaction outside the 
confines of the classroom.

For reflection and evaluation, Blogs are often used as a tool for reflection. For 
instance, students can have a personal blog that they use as a journal of their learning 
experience.

As a portfolio Because they can include photos and videos, and links to other 
sites, as well as “regular” text postings, blogs are an easy way to get students to 
produce a multimedia portfolio, documenting their work during a course or a work 
placement, for instance. You as teacher can comment if appropriate and, like any 
other portfolio, it can be submitted as part of the assessment.
