“How can blogs, wikis and delicious be used in the Saudi EFL context?”

 
 
Technology becomes an important thing in our daily life especially in teaching and learning. There are many websites such as blogs, wikis, delicious and yahoo group which can help the students to improve their knowledge and their English language skills ( reading, writing, speaking and listening). I would likely to use blogs, wikis and delicious with my EFL students through the lesson. The using of these websites in teaching can be a powerful and effective technology tool for students and teachers
 

Blogs
Is a blog-publishing service that allows private or multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. Blog is one of the very good and useful tools for students
In my opinion, using blog is useful for improving students' writing and reading skills, how?. For writing skills, teacher can give students some of the home-works that require them to post in their blogs like, express their opinions and ideas by writing in some topics that are chosen by the teacher. For reading, teacher may used for this skill by posting articles and asks them to read and reflect, so the teacher will know if they understand what they read or not
 
 
Wiki
Wikis are excellent website for collaboration. It's help the students to communicate and collaborate with each others. Teacher can use wiki to ask students to upload their works in it, like: PowerPoint presentations. Teacher can used it too to upload a beneficial materials, assignments and students' grades. It's a very useful tool for students to interact with their teacher and with their classmates
 
 
 
 
 
 
Delicious
A social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks
This website is fantastic. The teacher can post a good online materials, like: links, videos, activities and games that help the students to understand and learn some lessons. The teacher can also used it to ask the students to share useful links that are related to their lessons. Delicious will definitely be a helping tool inside and outside the classroom to expose students to the language
Finally
These websites can improve the teaching quality and the students' achievement. Technology really help developing and enhancing the learning process
