BLOGS

interactive websites; owners make posts / write about something and readers can leave comments

A blog is a very effective tool to practice reading and writing, two fundamental skills to be acquired when

learning a foreign language. But it also effective to practice listening and speaking, when certain tools are linked to it or embedded in it.

Here are examples of different type of work done in two of my teacher-student blogs.

Extracurricular activities

First message for my students

E-card (sent by Sus Nyrop, a Danish teacher-friend; good to learn vocabulary in a fun way)

Comments from the parents (it's nice to have an outsider perspective and to know what parents think about their YLs work)

Going to the Zoo (a field trip; interesting to read the dialogue that went on between a student and a teacher in comments #5-10)

Curricular activities

Geography lesson

Learning about Halloween

Visiting a Brazilian blog and doing interactive exercises (includes photos that give an idea of how the classroom is set up)
