ESL Blogs

I've spent most of my leisure time here on MyEC since I joined this fantastic community two years ago. I've written dozens of blogs and most of them were featured here.

I still remember how excited when my blog was featured for the first time. The blog Native English Speakers' Blogs was a success and actually became a discussion about native speakers' roles (especially those of native English teachers) in helping learners learn English on MyEC. The blog got 92 comments and was at the top of the

In the last newsletter we made a special request for all of you to share your thoughts about blogging! I want to know how blogging has helped you learn (or teach) English. 

Why do I need your help? I will be going to a conference for English teachers next week. The conference is called IATEFL and it will be held in England.

[I was so happy that my friend Ana agreed to be a guest blogger on my MyEC blog. Ana and I were high school friends. We were always in the same homeroom because our last names were alphabetically close. A homeroom is the room where you go to get your attendance checked. You also listen to announcements and the national anthem. Then you disperse and go to the classes that you have chosen, such as French or Drama. Ana and I recently became reacquainted through Facebook and our blogs. She is an ama

Have you ever noticed that everytime we pray, it makes us feel assured, humbled and selfless? Like you could share your thoughts, plans, and things that you want to accomplish to God. I really can't describe the feeling, all I can say it is wonderful. We can't please other people to like us no matter what but if you try to talk to our God even just a couple of minutes, somehow our burden is lessen.

Through prayers, we can wish our love ones, friends, neighbors even enemies to be closer to us. It
