ESL Blogs

Many of you are using the "tag" corrections in your blog posts! This is great. Thank you to all of the teachers and advanced learners who are helping. Please remember that teachers are not here to fix your mistakes. You must try to fix them yourself first. 

Andria is a new member who showed her corrections in a very clever way. When you share your corrections, you become the teacher for another English learner! 

You can use the "strike out feature" to show your corrections. 

This is how I usually suggest corrections. Notice that I only choose one or two lines for a writer to work out. I might give a hint to a beginner or low-intermediate learner. I might share a link to a grammar page on EnglishClub.com.


This is how you can respond. If you choose to leave your correction on your own blog post, please leave a note on the teacher's wall. If you don't leave a note, a teacher may miss your correction. Thank you to Andria for this great example. She left this message on my wall. I responded in the comments of her original post.:

It is also helpful if you Edit your post by inserting your corrections. You can use the strike out feature to show where you have made changes.Grace is a member who does this often. She uses bold font to show where she has made changes in her blog post. You can ask her for tips! Her writing is improving because of this great system.

Finally, I want to say thank you to all of the members who are blogging up a storm (blogging a lot). Your English will surely improve quickly as you practise writing on a regular basis. Please take the time to make sure that no blog post is left behind. Leave at least one comment every time you log in. Commenting is equally important to writing posts. Blogging is all about communicating!
