Summary/Abstract: Technology-Enhanced Communication in Business English (BE) – A Four-Year Project. The study presents the results of using integrated blog-writing for four years with the aim of extending BE students’ productive and receptive skills. The online component provided opportunities for collaboration, increased visibility of student feed-back and consideration of individual learning styles. Content analysis of blog posts, comments, reflections and interviews demonstrate that technology-enhanced learning was the preferred learning style and increased the quantity and quality of language learning, student motivation and satisfaction.
