This poster is titled ‘Using online articles to improve learners’ vocabulary storage’. We teachers would like to see our students perform better in a highly motivated manner, doing meaningful and creative tasks and projects. We try different tools to help them learn more. With the use of technology in language classes, teachers have started using different tools such as blogs to get better results. This poster is about a project with 9 pre-intermediate reading classes in a university prep program. In 14 weeks (2 modules of seven weeks), these classes used a class blog started for each class by their own teacher using online news articles based on the topics learners studied in class in their ‘Reading’ book. With the same articles, tasks, quizzes and project assignments, classes did tasks related to the articles put on their blogs by commenting on one another’s posts. A survey and an online questionnaire were also given to get feedback to see their reactions, whether they improved their reading skills and whether they learned more words in collaboration.
