Introduction Blogging can best be defined as the process of creating online entries of one’s thoughts/ perspectives/ ideas (similar to a journal) in order to connect with other people. Each blog is made up of entries that have provisions for comments at the bottom thus allowing readers to include their reactions on the preliminary material. Blogs normally contain links to other blogs that eventually lead to a large blog community known as blogosphere. Sometimes more than one person can be responsible for making entries into a blog. They can be created for personal reasons where writers maybe interested in merely airing out their thoughts; alternatively, they may be done solely for business, for journalistic purposes or other motivations. Entries in blogs are usually arranged in diminishing order i.e. from the latest entry to the oldest. This allows one to study developments with time. In order to create a blog, all one needs to do is to register with a blogging company. Thereafter, a template will appear where the person can place his or her content and then allow other online users to view it. Blogs provide enormous possibilities for students in linguistics classes because they allow students to use them in order to make discussions about their developments or to ask for advice on certain problematic areas. On the other hand, these tools are particularly helpful to teachers who also get the chance to provide students with additional support and also use them as instructional tools. (The educause learning initiative, 2005) Through a look at two case studies, it will be possible to analyse how valuable blogs are in enhancement of language learning. One of the major strengths of blogs is that they provide a forum in which people can interact and collaborate with one another in areas of mutual interest (Allard, 2006). Their increased popularity demonstrates just how practical the tool is; this maybe because no limitations exist on topics of discussion thus making them particularly flexible. Additionally, they motivate students to improve their communication skills because participants need to consider how their material will be perceived by other readers. Also because one obtains feedback through reader’s comments, face book or twitter then this can facilitate two way exchanges; both the information creator and the recipient can benefit and grow. It is also interesting to note that businesses which choose to open up their own blogs can have immense opportunities for growth because employees can give feedback to their bosses while consumes can also state their concerns. One of the major limitations of blogs is that anyone can write them. Consequently, assessing quality of content can be problematic especially in cases where one is dealing with a highly technical topic that requires great expertise. This problem has been echoed in the media industry; stakeholders argue that most traditional media users are abandoning the latter outlets for direct discussions with news editors and this may reduce availability of credible news. Blogs are also challenging if inappropriate information has been written. This can lead to lawsuits from affected parties who may sue for c
