Blogging has been a really new experience because I didn’t do it before. It’s kind of cool writing about things in the internet, things that you like or you think important in life, is relaxing writing on a computer without worries because you let your inner writer go on without pressure. Because of this, you learn new words to express what you feel, or what you want to say, you expand your vocabulary to new levels.
It’s kind of fun doing a blog, but isn’t too much when you have to write about something that you don’t want, because the words don’t flow around, you get stuck in every sentence, so its a lot difficult writing a whole paragraph when you have trouble writing just one sentence, for example I didn’t have problems at all for writing about a picture I liked, because I liked to write about it, however I got a lot of problem writing about the best in my area because I didn’t know a lot of people related to it.
The other problem it’s the time that you have to do the blog, when you have to write about something that you don’t really like, you see the time passing by you and you only have like 3 words on the blog, you feel the time isn’t much for it. So I think the best solution for this problem its letting the students pick the theme that they want to write. The time that they take for doing the blog would be reduced dramatically because they would be more interested in the things that they write, and that for, the words would flow faster and better.
I think blogs didn’t help me to improve my English, because I’ve been writing a lot, but I don’t know if what I have written its right or wrong so I can’t realize about my mistakes. However, in some way I improved my vocabulary because I have learned new words for doing the blogs, and for that I get a positive experience about this course.
Bloggin in English class is fine if you want to see the students write, and see them how they do it, but like I said before, one disadvantage of this method is that students don’t know what they did wrong, so they wont know what they did wrong or how can they correct their mistakes, the method should include a revision of the blogs or a list of the mistakes so students their self can correct them.
Well that’s what I think, See you next time =)
