My blogging experience

This was my second blogging experience, since I am writing a blog on my current year abroad.. I enjoy this English class blog because it is a different way to teach English. It is very useful in the way that it allows you to use the modern tools to improve a foreign language. I think this is a nice way to study because you have a certain independence in your work : you have two days to finish the work started in class, you can make comments on whoever blogs you want, you can work at home or in the English lab. Even if it was a good experience I think it can be improved. For instance the teacher blog could offer more English exercise for those who have the time and the will to work a lot at home. One can even imagine that all the homework could be done on the Internet. That way the one hours and a half class could be used to correct exercises previously done. In my point of view what was also missing was a free topic, where the student can wright about what he wants.
However it certainly does help me to progress in English. In fact this very modern exercise improve my vocabulary skills. I tried to use words that can not be used easily in an essay but who are very relevant in a blog. Writing very short essay every week is a good way to see what are my skills and what are my weaknesses, as well as it helps me to work in order to reduce my weaknesses.
In my opinion blogging in English class have a lots of interest, mainly in two areas. First it is clearly a good use of modern technology: I really think that nowadays teachers should not be afraid to use the Internet. This allows to make a link between the student's world and the subject taught. Moreover, this is really a good way to adapt the class to everyone level. Indeed, I imagine that it is difficult for a teacher to adapt the class level to everybody; with this blog tools everyone study and progress at his rhythm. The teacher is able to offer a very more individual help than that given in a classroom.
