Using blogs in language teaching

An article in the somewhat maligned Humanising Language Teaching Journal recently by Mark Appleby, a rampant blogger who set up such blogs as Student Zone. He’s been blogging since 2004, and has used blogs in some interesting and innovative ways. It was certainly an interesting read for me.

He uses freely available blog sites such as blogspot. I highly recommend reading this article if you’re thinking of venturing into blogging for the first time. Also, check out the rest of the online magazine, some good stuff there.

Some of the following are good examples of TEFL Blogs:
