Wired Words: My Online Writing Adventures

Electronic journals (also called e-journals) are online publications that focus on academic research and scholarly articles. They are often used by university students and researchers. Most of them are peer-reviewed, which means the articles have been checked by experts before being published. Reading electronic journals helps me improve my academic writing and understand recent developments in English Language Teaching (ELT). Here are some of the journals I have used: TESOL Quarterly – This journal covers topics related to teaching English to speakers of other languages.  Link: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/15457249 ELT Journal – A helpful resource with articles on new methods and ideas in English teaching.  Link: https://academic.oup.com/eltj Journal of English for Academic Purposes – Focuses on how English is used in academic settings.  Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-english-for-academic-purposes I usually access these journals through...

There are many types of online platforms used for communication, learning, and sharing content. Here’s what I’ve learned about them, including some that I personally use: Homepage : This is the main page of any website. It’s usually the first thing you see and provides links to other sections. For example, Google’s homepage is simple and lets you search the web. Website Pages : These are different parts of a website, such as the “About Us” or “Contact” sections. Each has a specific purpose. Blog : A blog is a personal or professional site where someone writes regular posts. I have my own blog called Nothing Like Us, where I write fictional stories about love and life. Social Media : Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok are for sharing quick updates, photos, and videos. I use Instagram to post daily stories or quotes. Mailing List : This is a group of email addresses that receive regular updates from a sender. Many companies use mailing lists to share newsletters or promotions...

I use both online and offline writing in my daily life, and each serves a different purpose. When I write online , I usually use a more relaxed and conversational tone. I post on Instagram, comment on YouTube, write blog posts (like this one), or chat with friends. I often include emojis, abbreviations, and sometimes don’t follow grammar rules strictly. My goal is to connect quickly with others, not to be perfect. For example, I have a blog called Nothing Like Us, where I write fictional stories. The blog allows me to share ideas with readers from anywhere in the world. I also write in forums, reply to group messages, and sometimes submit online assignments. When I write offline , the experience is different. I focus more on grammar, structure, and vocabulary. My offline writing includes handwritten notes, academic essays, printed assignments, and personal journaling. These are usually more formal, and I take more time to think about what I want to say. In short, online writing is fast...

Writing is one of the oldest forms of communication, but technology has changed how we write and where we write. Online writing is any writing done through the internet. It includes writing blog posts, social media updates, emails, online articles, digital journals, and even comments on YouTube videos. This kind of writing is usually fast, interactive, and multimedia-based. Writers can use hyperlinks, emojis, images, and even videos to support their messages. Offline writing, in contrast, is writing done without internet access. This includes traditional writing like essays, notebooks, printed books, handwritten letters, and even classroom tests. Offline writing is often more formal and structured, especially in academic or professional settings. Both types of writing are valuable. Online writing allows for wider communication and quick updates, while offline writing allows for deeper focus and fewer distractions. Click here to return to the first page.

The terms “online” and “offline” are part of our everyday vocabulary, especially in the digital era. But what do they really mean? Being online means being connected to the internet. This allows us to access websites, send emails, watch videos, chat with people around the world, and even attend virtual classes. The internet is a powerful tool that connects devices and people through digital signals and networks. On the other hand, offline means not being connected to the internet. Activities such as writing in a notebook, reading a printed newspaper, or listening to a CD player are considered offline. It’s a more traditional and non-digital way of doing things. In today’s world, we often move between being online and offline. While online activities are convenient and fast, offline experiences can be more focused, quiet, and distraction-free.
