This paper reviewed the current body of research on the use of blogs in second/foreign language education. The purpose was to investigate research trends and provide a comprehensive review of the current state of research, including theoretical frameworks, methodologies and research topics for future research based on the review. A total of 38 research articles published in six peer-reviewed journals for the past decade was selected for review. Then, major trends from the existing studies were re-examined and thoroughly analyzed. This review found that many studies did not explicitly provide a theoretical base of the investigation. Moreover, an increasing number of research on blogs have adopted mixed-method research designs. English as a second/foreign language was the most commonly investigated target language, followed by Spanish and French. The most frequently addressed topics included developing productive language skills, promoting intercultural competence, creating shared space and a sense of community, and understanding individual differences. The results showed not only the educational potential of using blogs in the second/foreign language classrooms but also limitations found in the current review study. Also, implications for researchers and language practitioners were provided for their future directions.

Abstract

This paper reviewed the current body of research on the use of blogs in second/foreign language education. The purpose was to investigate research trends and provide a comprehensive review of the current state of research, including theoretical frameworks, methodologies and research topics for future research based on the review. A total of 38 research articles published in six peer-reviewed journals for the past decade was selected for review. Then, major trends from the existing studies were re-examined and thoroughly analyzed. This review found that many studies did not explicitly provide a theoretical base of the investigation. Moreover, an increasing number of research on blogs have adopted mixed-method research designs. English as a second/foreign language was the most commonly investigated target language, followed by Spanish and French. The most frequently addressed topics included developing productive language skills, promoting intercultural competence, creating shared space and a sense of community, and understanding individual differences. The results showed not only the educational potential of using blogs in the second/foreign language classrooms but also limitations found in the current review study. Also, implications for researchers and language practitioners were provided for their future directions.
