BLOGS

• A blog (short for weblog) is a frequently updated
  website that often resembles an online journal.
• It requires only basic access to the Internet,
  and a minimum of technical know-how.

• limited to syllabus, course information,
  homework, assignments, etc.

  reflections about the local culture, target
  culture and language to stimulate online and
  in-class discussion.

  write comments to the teacher's posts
