概要	Blogging is now a part of everyday life in many parts of the world, with obvious implications for teachers. This paper describes the implementation of a blogging project with 165 EFL students at a private university in Japan. Surveys conducted at the beginning and end of a writing course measured their attitudes toward the use of blogs as language acquisition tools. The results indicated that the students maintained overwhelmingly positive attitudes toward blogging in English and regarded it as a useful activity for improving the fluency of their writing and their motivation to participate actively in their learning.
