Abstract
This chapter is a case study of the Weblogging in Kumamoto (WinK) initiative, a project led by the three co-authors aimed at building a community of English-language bloggers (at present, mainly tertiary EFL students) in the Kumamoto region. The case study serves as a prism to engage with issues surrounding online engagement, choices of technologies, technical training to prepare students to engage with the primary objectives of the course, the fostering of community, and assessment, as well as issues specific to English-as-an-Additional-Language (EAL) courses.
