Introduction

I'm a teacher (of English) at the University of Waikato Language Institute in New Zealand, and this site is a test site for using blogs to teach writing skills. The idea is that the students maintain a journal of their thoughts and experiences while over here in New Zealand. Writing on a regular basis must help them to improve fluency (if not grammar and vocabulary), and the fact that their musings are live should impact on accuracy. Hopefully, the possibility that you may be reading will add rigour to their proof-reading.
