New Technologies in Language Teaching

The reading of week two was talking about the history of weblogs as a tools for language teaching from the beginnging up to nowadays.  Weblogs are popula use in different domains of the world, such as learning, teaching, communication, finding information and also globle matters.

In the reading, it also talking about the students learning from the blogs. It not only provides a easy way for them to communicate with their friends, it can also provides an oppotunite for the students to have language learning and at the same time increases thier interest.

I think using blogs for learning foreign language (English) is one of the way for learning and communication. But for the primary students it may not easy for them except they were guided by the parents or teachers etc., it is because blogs also privdes a platform for sharing different ideas and informations. We need to follow up. 

However, some of the teacher would like to use the blogs for ask the students to comment and show their work. I think it is a good way to enhance student's learning and interest.  I may also to build up their confidence in foreign language.
