Under the general introduction, there lists the blog posts which are displayed in chronological order (the latest post comes to the first).

Each post will be presented in a dark blue square with the title on the top of it. Under the title, there will be an abstract and some key words, which could help you find your desired posts effectively. For example:


On the right of page, there will be a list of topics and authors of blogs. If you don't have a clear research goal, the categories will support you to narrow down your research range.

These blogs mainly offer readers kinds of news, teaching methodologies and other industries combined with EFL teaching. Readers have chances to know some insightful and cultural ideas in teaching.

You can also find the introduction of authors of the blog on the bottom of each post. However, there isn't much comment under each post, maybe, you can have a try to speak out your own idea!

For example:

Ease of use and Navigation

You can reach your desired activities by clicking the arrows on the top of the blogs.


Besides, the list of authors and topics on the right of the page could also help you to find the posts you want to read. That one thing is not perfect enough is that the list of topics and authors couldn't roll down along with the rolling page.

    hi Lyn! What a great start! This is a brilliant blog post which has everything - information, graphics and your individual personality! You have organised it very clearly point by point but included fun emojis and highlighting to give further emphasis. You have also found your blogging 'voice' making the reader feel at home and confident that you are giving them useful and personal information. The screenshots illustrating each point are great, especially for visual readers! I liked the fact that you were not afraid to mention the points that were not so good - that is an important feature of a trustworthy blog post! The final video is properly embedded so well done but I wonder if you checked the content? It is a fascinating exercise in 'spotting the English' in a foreign language! He says 'complete process', 'each and every thing', 'story', 'comment box', 'like' and 'subscribe' but the main language is (I think) Urdu!! Have a listen and see what other English words you can hear!! Well done for a good strong start - I look forward to reading all your other posts in April!
