Blogging has by now well established itself in the popular media and
particularly in education. In the latter context, creating, reading and
commenting on blogs provide interaction with a real audience and
promote students' self-expression. Interested in exploiting its potential
in peer-to-peer EFL writing pedagogy at university, I started applying
the blog as a medium and tool in a Hungarian B.A. program in EFL in
2006. Since then, over one hundred students have participated in blog
projects over the past five semesters. In the present article, I focus on
the linguistic and social benefits to students in the Fall 2008 semester
from the activity of sharing their ideas and providing regular peer
feedback on them.
