Abstract

English blog writing, a newly-applied communicative method based on the Internet provides a suitable and practical platform to remedy the traditional EFL (English as a Foreign Language) writing teaching. This paper tends to illustrate the importance and necessity of English blog writing by presenting the practical stages and reporting a case study with non-English majors in a Chinese university.
