Hopefully, teachers who have never blogged, like the ones in my workshop last week (pictured above), might think a subject or classroom blog/website is a good idea and might decide to go and start their own.

A couple of other ideas I like to do with blogs:

Invite a native speaker “expert” to write an article on the blog. Your learners can engage with them and send in questions to the “expert” via the comments function of the blog. It’s a nice easy way for them to get in touch with a “real” English / Spanish / French etc speaker.

Post a photo of a strange / unusual / odd object and ask the learners to write a sales pitch for it for the market of the language they are studying. It’s a nice way to allow the students to use their imagination while at the same time giving them practice of real-world language skills.

There are of course heaps of other blog activities that you can do, but these are two that I particularly enjoy doing.

Thanks again for the ideas,

Seth.
