Using Livejournal in EFL Classes
I recently wrote a short piece for the Internet TESL journal describing how I added an experiential element to my EFL reading/writing classes last spring through the use of Livejournal. Students wrote weekly and were able to interact with the peers from abroad in the target language. It was educational and fun for everyone involved. The paper is entitled, Using Livejournal for Authentic Communication in EFL Classes.
Special thanks to Anne Davis for her encouraging, inspiring, supportive, and completely unsolicited help in commenting on student Livejournal postings in the first half of the semester. Her participation really helped spark student motivation. Thanks Anne.
