This study aimed to demonstrate how a blog project was incorporated in low-intermediate to intermediate writing classes and to report on the students’ experience and attitudes towards the use of weblogs during the project. The findings revealed that most of the participants perceived blogging as beneficial to the development of their English language and technology skills, as well as networking.

A Genre Analysis of Research Article Discussions in Applied Linguistics. Language Research 49.2, 453-477. This study adopts Peacock’s (2002) revised model of move analysis to address questions related to the rhetorical structure of research article discussions and intra-disciplinary variations within the field of applied linguistics. Data were compiled from a corpus of 50 research articles published in five major peer-reviewed journals in applied linguistics. The results indicated that Moves 2 (Finding) and 4 (Reference to previous research) were obligatory; Moves 1 (Information move), 5 (Explanation for expected or unexpected results), 6 (Claim) and 8 (Recommendation) were conventional whereas Moves 3 (Expected or expected outcome) and 7 (Limitation) were optional. The four most common moves included Moves 1, 2, 4, and 5 whereas the least common move was Move 7. The results also suggest some intra-disciplinary differences in terms of the number and type of ...
