Wikis can be useful for language teachers:

• it is a straightforward way of creating an online learning environment, which combines areas for collaborative writing and interaction;
• creating a website is unproblematic, structuring the text with headings and tables and creating links is relatively straightforward;
• it ss useful to be able to create links to other learning materials and tools—e.g. facilitates the integration of reading and writing activities, as you can link to articles from the wiki gives you an archive of all the students work;
• you can paste all the students work into a Word file - useful for diagnostic purposes and for seeing what topics interest them;
• you can see who has contributed what section of text and what kind of edits are made;
• you can be sent an email each time when anyone has contributed to the wiki. (Chetty, 2006)
