WHY ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHERS SHOULD BLOG?
A teacher is a guide, a mentor and an ideal for students. Language learners always expect to have some new words, new lines, new thoughts and new ideas from their mentor. They have an unexpressed attachment with their teacher and expect that their problem will be solved by him or her in a jiffy. And sure a good teacher knows all this, so she leaves no stone unturned to provide all the knowledge to the students.
English language, especially because of its international demand and the only available source of communication, needs priorities from the teacher as well as from the learners. Blogging on a forum (especially on EC, because of its popularity) is the key for all those who are zealous to learn the language and adhere to the cause of entering in to the world of knowledge and wisdom through learning language. It is, therefore, must for English Language teacher/s that they should blog their ideas, observations, opinions and methods for the benefit of the learners. I myself learn a lot when a senior or a teacher blogs. I learn how to express an idea in impressive way, how a statement no matter if it is a simple one, is garlanded with the flowers of words to make it an expression and form so that it would become an idea which becomes a permanent part of literature. This is only possible when English Language Teachers post their blogs

nice blog again,tnx.yes teachers have to be a good guid for learners
I always get encouraged by you and other senior members, this is the main reason I never stop writing, even though my writing (blog) is full of errors sometimes. I thank you and all the senior members of MYEC for provoking me to continue writing! :)
Anah never feel ashamed for any meager ability, have you ever seen a toddler to feel ashamed when he/she falls trying to walk. We learner are the same. Put your feeling in writing. With continued work you will see yourself improved. I am not better than other blogger here, but difference is this I keep continue, even more when I make mistakes.
Thanks for your appreciation.
I am honoured Tara,
but you see, its you who is already doing your part of responsibility as a teacher by putting challenges for the learners and for those who want to improve their skill by accepting the challenges and responding to them. I thank you for that.
Superb!
We really learn a lot from teachers, if teachers provide fascinating material for their learners, they would become the best teachers!
I have written on the same topic and feeling ashamed of myself lol
Wow! You have made some really great points. I am going to share this post with lots of teachers. I think you'll inspire some to start blogging. I also must post my own blog for this month's challenge. (Coming soon.) You inspired me!
English teachers in EC are a great help for English learners, I am glad to have good English teachers here, In some countries, there are just a few native English teachers and they can use EC teachers instead.
Teachers of English here blog, too - some of the teachers are even native English teachers.
I hope more and more teachers here can publish their blogs.
