1. What is Weblog?
According to Wikipedia, a weblog "is a website where entries are made and displayed in a reverse chronological order."

2. What are some popular weblog English learning sites?
I Talk Show English Zone seems to be a great English learning blog.
The English Blog provides information for both English learners and teachers.

3. What can the blog do compared to the traditional English Learning website?
It's has features such as RSS, permalinks and traceback that allow learners to participate in contributing content, just as the blog's builders do. Viewers of Traditional English Learning websites can only read and watch but has no authority to modify the content of the sites.

4. What is RSS/ permalinks/ traceback?
a. According to Wikipedia, RSS "is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts." Users uses this feature with their costumized RSS readers, which would prompt them to read the blogs they have subscribed if those blogs have new posts.
b. Wikipedia describes a permalink as "a URL that points to a specific blogging entry even after the entry has passed from the front page into the blog archives." It's an abbreviation of Permanent link.
c. Traceback is a way to inform blog A that you would like to link it to blog B, and leave a link of blog B on the original blog A.

5. How can team blog functions (e.g. comment, moderation, traceback and pingback) support English reading and writing?
Blog functions such as the above use the concepts of Web 2.0, therefore uses of blogs can gain advantage in a way that it allows viewers to have more active relationship with the learning contents, therefore they are not passive receivers of information as in Web 1.0 websites anymore.

6. How can multimedia presentation help ESL learning?
Since language is not just reading, we can be fully positive about the impact multimedia presentation on ESL learning. Multimedia presentation exposes students to audio and visual information that puts language in its cultural contents, thus facilitate students to learn better.
