Topic 6: ESL/EFL writing and MySpace
Do you have your own space online? Did you know MySpace is very popular and widely used in the US? Got some time to explore it? I am sure you will find the integrated interface full of text, pictures, audios, and so forth. From an EFL learner's perceptive, would it be possible to integrate MySpace in the classroom for helping with writing activities? What are some activities you would like to do on MySpace?

It can regard as the channel of issuing one's own mood.
Making use of it to keep a diary,
my English ability will increase at the same time .
Hi 睿程, keeping a diary definitely sounds doable and helpful to you concerning your packed schedule. I use Windows Live Space for collecting my diary and pictures, and I feel so motivated and excited whenever I am about to share my US life with friends back in Taiwan through composing short messages.
I have my own space online. But it just a space for my writing class, But i think I will use other space to record other things. I think MySpace is a good choice to me. I love to share pictures, diary, and songs I like.
I have several spaces online. Some for my assignments of my courses in university, and some for recording my life. Maybe I can try this one to share something with US people, and then I can learn more!
Myspace is a good place to preserve my writing forever, you don't worry about your writings will miss. In there you also can write down your feeling everyday, just like traditional diary.
Hi Mia, Evelyn, Yiwen, and Carolyn, MySpace enables us to talk and write to people whose native language is English, and I assume that provides all ESL/EFL an authentic environment and interaction. Note that we as users still need to be careful about the inappropriate content (violence, drug, scam, sex) displayed on it. Due to the safety issue, most US K-12 schools have filtered the social networking tools out of their campuses.
I have some spaces on line, however, those spaces are just for the assignments. I will try to build a space to write down everything I want to share!
I think I have spaces on line now. Some of them just for my assignments. This is my first time to hear "MySpace". I will try to bulid one space belong to me there, not just for my assignments.
Hi, Yilings and Vulcanelf, Through the online participatory culture, I am sure we will all benefit from the sharing as well as the collective intelligence. Please enjoy the tour for fun not just assignment! If you are into the virtual tour, try Second Life and Quest Atlantis, you know the avatars and the 3D environment sometimes are surprising! They are both accessible via my Web 2.0 blog http://chungkaii.blogspot.com/
I think I might ask EFL/ESL students to keep a jounral or diary on MySpace, and share their webpages with each other, or even ask them to respond to each other's MYSPACE. It's a bit like the traditional "peer review" techniques in EFL/ESL writing.
To Ko, please try the online peer review and let me know how it goes in your class. I am sure it will be effective scaffolding in terms of writing for accuracy and fluency.
I really do not know what the myspace is but it seems really interesting. So I think I will try to contact it.
I never use MySpaces before. I think that it's similar with MSN spaces which we can view other people's blog and album.
It seems the the computer skill had used in language that are more wildy.Thriugh this page, i can learn the differnet way to improve my writting.Thanks a lot
I agree with your opinion. It really helps us a lot. Sometimes we couldn't correct our articles by ourselves. At this time, it could help us a lot and find the meaning of unfamiliar word.
I don't use my space at all.
But I think "my space" is like a blog, I can share my competition and feeling or photo on oline.
There is a convenience "my space"
call "windows live space" it is easy to use.
MySpace can share our daily life. By this, we touch others life more closely.
I have my own space. I almost use it to record some feeling or something in my life. By Myspaces, I can share many things with friends and get more information form Myspaces. Now, I have a space for my class. It’s very interesting for me.
I can use my own space for my assignment. And I like to use my own space to record my colorful life.
Yes, I have wiki space. I don't know MySpace is very popular and widely used in the US. I will spend time to explore it. It would be possible to integrate MySpace in the classroom for helping with writing activities. I would like to share my photos and vedio on MySpace.
I do not have my own space online, but I think I will find time to explore it.
I don't have Myspace. I hope I have the chance to explore Myspace.
It is the first time to know some information about MySpace,and I just know the word from some online news. I will try to use this website to do some interesting activities.
