The Effect of Blogging on Vocabulary Enhancement and Structural Accuracy in an EFL Context
Open accessAbstract
The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of using weblog in language learning as a tool for vocabulary enhancement and grammatical accuracy of Iranian foreign language learners.Previously, weblog has been used as a tool to improve fluency and facilitate communication.However, in this study, the researchers tried to investigate the use of weblog to measure the level of accuracy in writing skill to see the extent in which blogging improves peer feedback and correction.A group of 25 students were selected for five weeks of instruction.Students were assigned to write five articles with pre-determined topics and post them online to their weblogs.While writing the articles students were introduced to use grammar checking softwares and Applications simultaneously.They were invited to correct each other's mistakes and restate the writings by recommending new words.By using Chi-square and Wilcoxon Signed ranks tests, the number of errors and suggested words were analyzed in detail.The results showed that there is a significant increase in the number of words students recommend to each other.Additionally, the number of grammatical errors has decreased dramatically during the peer feedback.According to the questionnaire which was organized after conducting the experiment, almost all students reacted positively to the amount of learning they have received.

In the citing paper
“reviewed publications showed that online peer feedback with TQM (Chang etal., 2015), mobile-supported (Kuo etal., 2017), scripting (Noroozi & Hatami, 2019), guided peer feedback (Noroozi & Mulder, 2017), blog-supported (Rahmany etal., 2013), and structured peer assessment (Wang etal., 2019) caused attitudinal change towards online peer feedback.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
