How can blogging help you learn English?

     

              Since I start study in ELS I developed my communication skills, however in writing I didn't enhance so much. That's because I listen my classmates presentations and I talk whit them, but I never read what they write. I believe that make the writing exercises in a blog will help me to learn English because my classmates and I will have the possibility to share our work and improve together.

      

      Firstly, I believe that have access to other students blogs will help me to learn vocabulary. If we write about the same subject, everyone will do it in a different way, with different words. So if after I finish my work I could read what the rest of the class did, I'll learn another ways to express the same idea. In the other hand if we have a broad topic on which one could write about a variety of matters, I will learn some words that neither I nor my teacher would have thought of studying.

      Furthermore, have someone who is not a teacher reading the articles on my blog will make me realize if I'm been enough clear in my assertions. Sometimes the ideas in my mind are so set out, that I skip some steps while I'm writing and the audience can get confused. The problem in this part is that the teachers who are so used to decipher the muddled ideas of students can understand the message. That's why have classmates, who don't have the same ability of the teacher, reading my work will help me.

       The technology - especially internet - can be an important tool for education, if properly exploited. Use blogs for develop the write skills is a good way to take advantage of this resource, mainly because enables information sharing.
