In-service Workshop

Listen to our friend Paddy in Portugal

Writing for a real audience

Extra practice of reading and writing

Creation of somebody’s or a group’s own multimedia environment

Students’ work can be read by their peers

It builds up a sense of community

The practice of English goes beyond the classroom

The online environment encourages shy students to express themselves

Students can get replies from all over the world

Relatives and friends can see what is being done in the classroom

No technical expertise needed

It enhances Creativity

It is a rich learning space

Are you ready to dive in? Or are you a non-believer?

We are ready to dive in because we are interested in using the internet to provide them with more interesting lessons.

Dear Carla and Erika,
After reading lots of articles about the benefits of blogging in an EFL environment, I’ve found your list covers all the important points. May I borrow it to use in my own blog. I’ll give you the credits, of course. And I’ll try to add something of my own!
Love,
Claudia
