    This paper is an attempt to exemplify how weblogging can raise learners’ language awareness and prepare them for communication in the networked world. The research aimed at the investigation of applying innovative techniques for written and oral communication in English classes. An exploratory study of using a variety of ICT activities at tertiary level was conducted. Class experiences of creating weblogs for learning purposes and using them for online activities with university students who learn English for Specific Purposes are described. The methods employed for data gathering and treatment consisted of administering specially designed questionnaires, analyzing students’ responses, carrying out weblogging activities, providing feedback to learners and evaluating learners’ performance in various online activities, and finally assessing the utility of weblogging.Our findings show that the experience of writing for an audience provides an important opportunity for learning English. Although there is a limitation to the study - the data are from a small sample of participants – this study yielded some practical insights and implications which are presented in this article.
