| contents | Blog writing integration for academic language learning purposes: towards an assessment framework Liam Murray Tríona Hourigan Catherine Jeanneau Lengua y Literatura Blogs integration micropublishing academic writing assessment framework This article presents the results from ongoing research in the area of academic blog writing and language learning which began over four years ago. Initially, the research examined the area of micro publishing, virtual writing and blogs for academic purposes (Murray & Hourigan, 2006), then moved on to identify specific pedagogical roles for blogs in language teaching and learning (Murray & Hourigan, 2008 forthcoming). The third phase of this research now examines the areas of creative expression, reflection and language acquisition in mandatory blog writings by students at a Third Level Institution. Previously in this research, students were asked, but not required, to keep a personal blog for up to five months; writing only about their language learning strategies and experienceswith the declared aim of improving student language learning strategies through self-reflection and self-expression. Students are, this time, required to write and 'complete' their academic blog as it represents one compulsory element -with due weighting, given its importance- of a language module assessment. This compulsory blog writing task has raised a number of pedagogical questions which will be explored, such as: effective integration, assessing and rewarding student creative expression within the blog medium, self-reflection as a language learner and ultimately the role and value of academic blog writing in language acquisition. 2007 artículo científico 1139-7241 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=287024055002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2870 Ibérica, Revista de la Asociación Europea de Lenguas para Fines Específicos application/pdf Asociación Europea de Lenguas para Fines Específicos Ibérica, Revista de la Asociación Europea de Lenguas para Fines Específicos (España) Num.14 |
