The use of the blog for learning is very important and interesting that blogs facilitate interaction and intervention of various concepts, when we do in a collaborative way.
This technological tool helps in the learning environment through its presentation, the way it has to be shared, the use of images and implements that make it easier to receive information and transmit it.

Technology has become indispensable for our daily work and study tasks, as it has the number of computer tools that facilitate many tasks that are performed mechanically are quite time consuming and difficult.
The methodology becomes more understandable and accessible to all people, the use of the internet has been a bomb that exploded in the variety and especially with all programs and techniques Responsible In this space where you can design and create either a long or Short-term compilation in the consolidation of a given task in a reflective, interpretive and efficient way.

The importance of the wiki in a group is great and allows to create workspaces and everything that facilitates the practice of writing, sharing pictures, ideas to create communication, interaction with other partners, either in own contributions Corrections and Feedback of a group topic.
One of the most important tools is for learning another language or language, which the good hand of learning and teaching is practiced day by day through this workspace due to the social implication that the place when it integrates In a Wiki

As is well known teaching a second language, it is not so easy and we look at it from a logical or theoretical perspective, but when we focus on learning through the medium of technology in various tools that bring great quality to both Teaches As who receives and learns to channel information or knowledge.
Learning in a traditional way may be less dynamic and slower for most people.
When learning a second language is accompanied by technology facilitates the task since the graphic space is more striking and above all the interaction and autonomy becomes increasingly personal and compromised.
For this purpose, it is necessary to have in the account that there must also be affinity and knowledge of the tics, and use them in a pedagogical way without losing the educational sense. As stated by Unwin (2007).

SOME OPINIONS ABOUT ALTERNATIVES IN ELT METHODOLOGY

According to research the use of blogs for EFL learning help learners to develop especially language skills like reading and writing, besides blogs allow learners to interact with administrators and participants, so it is a good interactive tool for collaborative work, as it is known collaborative work is an important trend in learner-centered education where students learn by themselves, with others and with teachers.

On blogs, learners can actually feedback other learners which for motivational purposes is good, it is due to the fact that learners may feel better when are being feedback by others learners and not the teacher, this is because of the level of knowledge teachers have which is higher than learner´s knowledge and sometimes cannot be understood easily, for some learners could be easier to learn some aspects seeing other learners´ comments on blogs than seeing teacher´s comments.

It is important the use of blogs for collaborative work due to the fact that society demands teamwork at the most of its levels, and seeing carefully many times learners are not used to work collaboratively, so they prefer work in isolation which is really inconvenient and probably not useful for society.

For EFL learning purposes, the use of blogs must be well structured, pedagogy concepts must be take into account for the put in practice of this interactive tool, for instead it is important that teachers who usually starts the writing of a blog, promote texts according to the student´s language skills; it is also important that unexperienced learners on the use of blogs receive an introduction about how to manage the tool and it is recommended this introduction be worked in the classroom and not out of class.

In general I think blogs are interesting tools which allows student to interact with others and learning.

Critical approach refers to the level of thought where learners negotiate meanings, learners are historically considered as passive, but now in the age of information, learners assume a different role when they listen and reading what others have to say, and according to that express their agreement or disagreement and proposing new alternatives. So critical approach can be integrate to ESL easily by helping learners to develop speech for negotiating meanings and arguing coherently.

Wiki technology helps to improve language skills like reading and writing. Most learners feel good when using Wiki technology which allows them to build learning communities in an easy way due to the proper interphase. Learners feel positive about peer feedback but thinking most times feedback have to do with mechanic parts of language like grammar and vocabulary and not so much about content. Many times learners feel they must be respectful with peers and trying to avoid comments about content which makes necessary a previously established design framework that allows learners to interact freely and meaningful. Although there is general acceptance of the Wiki technology among learners, there is still people who are very used to old methods and maybe do not want to change, in this case the paper/pencil writing to the Wiki technology, so it must be take into account that an extra effort must be done to make some learners to understand the clear benefits of the new technologies. It is also remarkable to say that Wiki technology is based on self-learning, so learners must be guided to understand this new way of learning.

There is a new alternative in ELT methodology known as WebQuest, it consists basically in obtaining the most possible benefits from the internet. So teachers can develop an organized and well-structured WebQuest that can be suitable into the curriculum. WebQuest are based on the assumption that is absolutely necessary to take advantage of the information in the Net. According to research WebQuest are well seen by learners, but in order it success, it must be taken into account the principles underlying this new alternative, for example it is based on self-learning, fosters individual and collaborative work, observes the procedures learners use and the objectives they get, encourage reflecting thought, etc. In the planning, design and implementation of WebQuest is important for example to take into account: to add interesting, meaningful, challenging and enjoyable topics, give the learners enough time for the developing of the studies, take into account other parts of the curriculum to no affect it, introduce how to manage the WebQuest alternative synchronously, consider the learners’ language skills, tasks must be interrelated with real professional purposes and assessment should be formative.
