Blogging & Teaching English as a Foreign Language

The TEFL Web Journal has just posted an artical (PDF only) by Jason M. Ward, American University Sharjah, looking at the use of blogs in language learning, Blog Assisted Language Learning (BALL): Push button publishing for the pupils.

Ward's artical delivers an overview, history and definition of the format and practice of weblogging, and also includes student feedback about the experience of using blogs as a part of the learning process.

Thanks to Jane Knight, over at the e-learning centre !
