So far so good
Have been going through the students' blogs the past few days. Not bad - the seasoned bloggers write quite a lot; the beginners often don't know what to say. Have given them my brief comments. Hope the momentum picks up.

Seems to be going well....
My second class (7.5) have just started their blogs. Can't wait to see what they write. They all look earnest enough - hope the interest level remains high and they see the value of this exercise. To some of them, blogging is not new. As for the rest, I hope they catch on. Still don't know them yet since this is only our 3rd meeting and hope to get to know them better through their blogs. I've requested them to include their photos. That should help me to link their names to their faces much faster.

Welcome
My first time blogging - doing this for the sake of my students. Got to keep up with the times and use whatever resources available to keep them interested in using English as often as they can. It's all the more urgent since my students are all from the same race and tend to lapse into their mother tongue when out of earshot of their teachers. Don't really blame them as that's their comfort zone and communication is so much more efficient when using one's first language.
Since they will be sitting for the IELTS in 9 months' time (we've just started classes), I'm trying to get them to use English as often as they can. When it comes to writing, I know they won't be practising on their own - after all, who wants to practice writing in their spare time ??!! So hopefully blogging will do the trick.
I'm now at the computer lab with my first blogging class - 7.9. They are TESL students so they should have quite a bit to write about.
Well, will just have to wait and see....(keeping my fingers crossed!!)
Cheers!!
