Speaker: Rory Davies

This presentation looks at the use of blogs(weblogs) in foreign language learning. Rory Davies starts by defining what blogs are, then examines the technical skills and equipment necessary to use them, and sums up by looking at different ways in which blogs can be used in the foreign-language learning process. Both the advantages and the disadvantages of blogs in the classroom will be highlighted, and the future potential of blogs will be discussed.
