Details	This researcher evaluated the use of various online resources, in particular, she examined three different projects that had varying rates of success, such as student portfolios, blogs, and the use of an online speaking website. While post-project questionnaires indicate that the majority of students thought the activities were successful and useful, their perceptions did not match with those of the teacher involved. This discrepancy will be evaluated and will provide a further basis for a critical analysis and discussion on the costs and benefits, to both teachers and students, of using such CALL resources for language learning.
