Blogging

I found that writing this blog was funnier than writing essays every weeks on a piece of paper! It created interaction and it allowed us to get to none better the others, especially for us exchange student since we did not know anybody in this class. It was quite funny actually! It is a way much more adapted to the modern world for practising our English, since we can use at the same time visual supports, wordreference.com (my favourite website!), make comments, add links, etc. However, I am not sure that it had a different impact on the improvement of m language skills than a more common way to write. Moreover, if it was a very good idea in theory, I found it was less the case in practice. Indeed, I found it very annoying and irritating sometimes giving the conditions we were working in. I think I spent more time searching for a computer working and having access to the internet than writing during the whole semester. Moreover, blogs have disadvantages in terms of privacy issues. However, I would say that “English-class-blogging” was a globally positive experience, and I think this idea should be spread!
