Blogs and microblogs can motivate students to learn foreign languages in several ways. Blogs allow for social interaction between students with shared interests, providing a platform to exchange ideas anytime. They also provide opportunities for students to expand their cultural knowledge about other countries through electronic media in a way that is not always possible in a typical classroom. By changing the role of the teacher to advisor rather than evaluator and allowing anonymous comments, blogs reduce pressure on students and make them more likely to write and engage in the foreign language. Microblogging sites are also popular because they provide content in enjoyable formats that appeal to users today.
