Abstract
This paper outlines the results of an action research report conducted on a blog project held in a Basic Japanese Language writing course. The task was for students to write blogs with the aim of reducing stress of, and the feeling of being "poor" at writing, due to lack of practice. Many don't write in their daily life outside of homework and texting. Most blog topics were on the students' weekends or hobbies. The students also used class time to write comments to each other. Feedback data was collected through the questionnaire and interviews. Students gave positive feedback and stress levels were reported to have decreased.
