Evaluate the Use of Blog Sites in the Language Teaching and Learning

Abstract

In the era of rapid development of information technology, an increasing number of educators involve blog sites in their language teaching process. Although blogs are incredibly effective in language teaching and learning, there is still space for growth. Students may be able to choose helpful learning content and share their thoughts with teachers and other language learners. Furthermore, as compared to traditional educational methods, blogs encourage students to communicate with their professors or other students in written form more frequently. As a result, it may help pupils enhance their reading and writing skills, as well as their learning initiative and vocabulary. Finally, it may allow students to track their learning progress, which may be beneficial in developing students’ self-assessment, self-management, and self-education skills.
