This paper aims at analyzing learners’ attitudes to weblogs and wikis which are common for communication in the networked world.

Our findings show that the experience of online writing for the audience provides an important opportunity for improving writing skills. Learners’ attitudes to weblogs and wikis are examined and a possible practical implication is indicated. Article in English
