I like how Jenny Cromie describes each of the “five ways that blogging” (Heenan) can improve our writing. As a student who has been speaking English for three years – where not only reading my first ESL stories persuaded me to become an English student – I agree with all the five points where she says that blogging has “helped her:
discover her voice;
connect with readers;
get feedback;
get disciplined; and
write faster.”
Even five years ago – as an ESL student – when blogging was a nonexistent meaning because people did not talk about it, besides I wasn’t a technology know-it-all, I think that ESL tutors helped me with all the five qualities above. But as I keep writing on MySpace or either in this blog, I have noticed that it still helps me to connect with all of you. Not only does it feel good, but it is a faster way to get both new insights and feedback from readers which makes me disciplined. And yes, every time I write, I think I become faster and that makes me feel proud of second language skills.
