e-journaling

Cohen and Ishihara cite e-journaling as a great way to reflect on their own learning experience. A way of self assessment that can be easily viewed by not only the learner, but the instructor and his/her peers in the classroom.

Something I would emphasize to the student would be to have them pick certain areas where they are deficient and write about that. By writing on it, the student is actively acknowledging his/her weaknesses and will be able to attack those problems with gusto!

I would say that the use of e-journaling would be limited to high-intermediate to advanced students who may have a much better grasp of writing in the L2. Allowing the collaborative effect of multiple viewpoints and suggestions, the learner could really benefit from this type of activity.
