Abstract
The main purpose of the study reported in this article is to find out from the didactic perspective what a blog is, how it can be effectively used in foreign language teaching and learning, and which competences can be developed by students using blogs. This article also aims to show whether blogs written by teachers motivate students to learn foreign languages.
