One of the common<br />tasks is to write essays or summaries with the aim of improving<br />writing skills in English and employing the skills of searching for reliable<br />professional information either online or elewhere.<br />The links to learners' weblogs are provided here. Anyone who is interested<br />in students' contributions are welcome to enter and write comments on their<br />entries.<br /><br />Here are the weblogs of students who study social work:<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">R.Sluckaite </span><a href="http://rsluckaite.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://rsluckaite.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">S.Ramuckyte </span><a href="http://saruneramuckyte.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://saruneramuckyte.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">J.Sniezko </span><a href="http://jsniezko.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://jsniezko.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">K.Sidlauskaite </span><a href="http://sidlauskaite.bolgspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://sidlauskaite.bolgspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">K.Skripkauskaite </span><a href="http://skripkauskaite.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://skripkauskaite.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">I.Pukyte </span><a href="http://ipukyte.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://ipukyte.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">G.Greiciuviene </span><a href="http://ggreiciuviene.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://ggreiciuviene.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">M.Ramanauskaite</span><a href="http://mramanauskaite.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://mramanauskaite.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">S.Vosteryte </span><a href="http://svosteryte.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://svosteryte.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">S.Vezyte </span><a href="http://vezytes.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://vezytes.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">M.Vainusis </span><a href="http://mvainusis.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://mvainusis.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">J.Palionyte </span><a href="http://jpalionyte.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://jpalionyte.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">V.Legeza </span><a href="http://vlegeza.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://vlegeza.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">A.Pazarauskaite </span><a href="http://apazarauskaite.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://apazarauskaite.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">A.Nalivaikaite </span><a href="http://analivaikaite.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://analivaikaite.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">M.Lynikas </span><a href="http://mantasly.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://mantasly.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">N.Kuklyte </span><a href="http://nkuklyte.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://nkuklyte.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">R.Leikunaite </span><a href="http://raleikunaite.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://raleikunaite.blogspot.com</span></a><br /><br />Here are the weblogs of students who study psychology:<br /><span style="font-size:78%;">A.

The diversity and novelty of choices stimulate learner interest and have a potential for developing language awareness.<br /><br />The aim of this study has been to foster language awareness through the application of the latest innovation of ICT which has been coined a weblog. An increasing interest to using blogs in education suggests their application in teaching / learning English. In this experiment, students created their own blogs and used them for accomplishing various creative tasks.<br /><br />I have coordinated the implementation of this project. My colleagues Lilija Anusiene and Viktorija Mazeikiene have encouraged their students to accomplish some assignments with the aim of raising learners' awareness in language usage and actively participated in achieving this aim.<br /><br />You will be able to enter the students' blogs through the following links.<br /><br /><a href="http://anusienelilija.blogspot.com">Lilija Anusiene </a><br /><a href="http://mazeikiene.blogspot.com">Viktorija Mazeikiene</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28528309-114828841163621624?l=gkavaliauskiene.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>teacherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10984429338726806931noreply@blogger.com3
