The Benefits of Blogging for Learning English

a.   It can improve learners’ writing ability.

There are four skills that we have to master in learning English;
they are reading, speaking, listening and writing. To master all those skills, we have to be accustomed to practice. Blogging is one of the tools to improve our ability in English, especially in writing skill. Some English learners are difficult to write because they seldom practice writing. Others might be afraid of making mistakes in writing such as grammar, punctuation and so on. Moreover, when we are posting something in our blog, we will think much about the errors in it because it can be seen and commented by anyone. However, we do not need to think much about it. We will never be able to write if we always think about the errors in our writing. Our errors and the comments of our writing will improve our next writing.

b.  Enrich learners’ English vocabulary

When we are writing, we often do not know about certain vocabulary that we are going to write. We will look up our dictionary and find the vocabulary that we do not know. In this case, we are enriching our vocabulary. Fancy that if we are writing 20 postings in our blog and each posting has 10 new vocabularies. How many vocabularies that we will get after writing? How if we always keep writing something in our blog? Therefore, blogging can enrich our vocabulary.
