Over the previous decade or so, the potential of blogs to help second/foreign language learners improve their writing and reading abilities has been recognized. This study explores the possibility of using a blog to increase language learning opportunities provided to students in an L2 listening class.Students in the class were expected to submit 6 blog entries to a class blog during one semester with each entry having a video found somewhere on the internet embedded in it. The study found that only 5 of 45 students did not submit any blog entries and that 17 of 45 students submitted 6 entries, with the median number of entries per student being 5. It was also found that the videos that students submitted came from a wide range of genres. Finally, it was found that there was a large amount of interaction that took place between students as they discussed the videos that were posted.
