Using Blogs to Engage English Language Learners
In commentaries from ELL students, the following benefits were pointed out
- They get to know each other and share information
- Blogging encourages them to read and write English more often
- The links on the blogs are a great guide to useful information
- Everything they post is about their culture, which allows others to learn about various cultures
- Writing on a blog is different from writing with pen and paper
You may have noticed many similarities in how teachers, students, and ELL students view blogging
I like this blog because it shares information to the world wide web.
ReplyDeleteAs a blogger myself, I feel like using blogs in the classroom would connect to the students more since blogging websites like Tumblr help spread news around in a more appealing way.
ReplyDeleteI like blogging because you can freely write about any subject
ReplyDeleteI think that blogging in the classroom could prove to be not only educational but fun. Though it depends on the subject and the topic of the blog.
