This study employed weblogs to support the writing process of Thai EFL students and provided an opportunity for them to participate in a Thai-Japanese weblog exchange project. The results showed that student bloggers： （1） enjoyed blogging due to their perceived reading and writing incentives, the exchange of cultural knowledge, and networking; and （2） employed the writing process to complete their written assignments. Findings suggest that weblogs can foster EFL learners＇ motivation, development of reading and writing skills, and development of cultural knowledge, and facilitate their writing process via cyberspace.展开更多

One comparative experiment has been conducted between NBLT method of teaching writing and traditional face-to-face way of teaching writing. The post-test outcomes gathered from the two groups were analyzed using SPSS statistical software package, which demonstrated the advantages of students' writing competency in a networked teaching environment over that of students in a traditional teaching environment. These findings of the research have led the author to the conclusion that NBLT might be encouraged in future language teaching.展开更多
