Amanda Lu
Introduction
• Curriculum and instruction have been changed
with the advancement and presence of new
technologies.
• The use of blogs has become increasingly
popular over the years as a form of
CMC.
• This study will examine the role of blogs and
how they may assist to promote comprehension
within small-guided reading groups.
Literature Review
• The advantages of the blogging include
maintaining a log of exchanging among students,
a more serious consideration of language, and
the encouragement of community language
learning by electronic means. (Godwin
Jones,2003)
• Self-publishing encourages ownership and
responsibility on the parts of the students, who
maybe more thoughtful if they know they are
writing for real audience. (Godwin Jones,2003)
Literature Review
• Communicative competence is defined as
the use of language in social
communications without grammatical
analysis (Krashen & Terrell, 1983).
Research Questions
• 1 Do the participants improve their reading
comprehension by blog discussion ?
• 2 How do students respond to the use of

fostering deeper comprehension?
