Weblog discussion

Principles for designing English teaching and learning weblog:
1. related articles about it
2. updating notice(new articles or related information)
3. multimedia tools(video clips, audio, pictures)
4. responding area(e-mail, forum, commentary, message-leaving)
5. RSS, moderation, traceback, pingback
6. links to other English learning or teaching websites
Criteria for evaluating ESL/EFL weblogs
1. The degree of content difficulty according to different target learner.
2. Related/assisting tools (description or articles in their native language, or easier language for them to understand) in ESL weblog in order for their better understanding.
3. More information or a much more authentic environment to build the EFL weblog, to enhance and create a total foreign aura for the foreign students learning in their country.
4. Is there enough information for the viewer to learn or contact the blog builder that learners could ask questions through a guest book or e-mail
5. A place for them to share personal experience or give advises.
