摘要：This paper aims to explore the attitude of Spanish Secondary Education students as regards their competence inthe use of the Internet in general and of (travel) blogs in particular. Issues such as students’ motivation to learnan L2 or students’ media literacy will also be discussed to frame the focus of the study. The sample ofrespondents includes learners enrolled in the first two years of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), and inthe last stage of Secondary Education (Bachillerato). A questionnaire was accordingly administered to them toconsider the appropriateness of, and to later decide the approach of, the teaching of English through the travelblog in the EFL classroom. Overall, results indicate that learners’ digital competence and generic awarenessshould be further developed towards a more functional and responsible use. Even so, learners positively viewblogs as a valid resource that may help them improve in certain language skills and areas. and that may boosttheir motivation.
