Abstract
Within the context of English as a foreign language (EFL), using blogs has emerged
as a language learning tool. However, how teachers effectively incorporate blogs
within the confines of an instructional framework and what the current research
shows about using blogs as a learning tool remain unsolved issues. Thus, the
current paper presents a review of the research on the use of blogs in EFL learning
contexts. The study first introduces blogs and a theoretical framework for the use of
blogs within the borders of the constructivist approach. Then, in accordance with the
studies reviewed, the research is divided into the following five sections: effects on
(1) the awareness of the target culture, (2) interaction and communication, (3) basic
language skills, (4) learners motivation, perceptions and attitudes, and (5)
autonomous learning. In conclusion, while the current literature reflects that using
blogs is a valuable and effective technique that can be readily used in the context of
EFL, more research is necessary. Finally, the paper ends with practical
recommendations for EFL teachers and researchers.
