Introduction
My name is Sarolta ("S" is pronounced as "Sh" in Shelley) Godnic Vicic and I come from Korte, a little village in the coastal region of Slovenia, Europe (time zone: GMT+1).
I'm an ESP teacher at TURISTICA - College of Tourism in Portoroz. I like teaching and I like working with young people. Although I find teaching English for tourism challenging and rewarding, I keep looking for new ideas and approaches that would make my teaching more efficient and my students more active.
I'm interested in discourse analysis, corpus-based methods, problem-based learning, teaching writing and CALL.
I've joined the group because I'd like to learn more about using blogs and wikis in EFL classroom contexts.
I've tried creating a blog. It wasn't difficult. I've played in a Wiki sandbox. No big deal. However, making blogging a meaningful activity to students has so far proved to be an impossible task for me. So I really hope that by the end of these six weeks I'll have developed a deeper understanding of blogs and wikis, which will in effect help me engage my students in activities that would help them improve their writing skills in English.

Hi Sarolta,
You certainly have your work cut out for you; I'm very curious to see what's coming and wish you only the best.
Slovenia's blogging community is still very small.. see here for a nearly complete list, many of them inactive or ailing. I don't think anyone has set up one for educational/pedagogical purposes, so you're probably charting new waters. (Which is always nice)
I'm guessing that by ESP you don't mean Extra-Sensory Perception? Hm. I'm not sure what it is, although I'm assuming the "E" is for English..
