Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at analyzing learners’ attitudes to weblogs and wikis which are common for communication in the networked world. The present investigation into application of wikis in English classes is compared with our previous research into weblogging. Our findings show that the experience of online writing for the audience provides an important opportunity for improving writing skills. Learners’ attitudes to weblogs and wikis are examined and a possible practical implication is indicated.
