However, there are still limited attempts to shed more lights on the (a) integration of various applications in the blog and (b) how they can be maximized for teaching and learning purposes in the context of Indonesian higher education. Therefore, this study aims to explore issues concerning the use of a tutor blog run in an English Education Study Program of a private university. The exploration focuses on the potentials of the tutor blog and their relevance to current blogging activities as well as draws on related literature and reflective experiences in utilizing the blog in EFL classrooms. This study seems to confirm the potentials of the tutor blog, as asserted by Campbell (2003). The analysis also reveals some possibilities of integrating the blog into other technological applications, which should be beneficial for pre-service and in-service EFL teachers who wish to utilize blogs to support their pedagogical agendas. The study concludes with directions for further studies. Keywords: weblog, technology, EFL teachers, EFL classrooms Introduction What is a weblog or a blog? It is a web-based application for entering, displaying, and editing information online (Crystal, 2006) and is usually arranged chronologically from the older information at the bottom and the most recent post at the top of the main page of the blog (Guttler, 2011). A blog resembles an online diary that everybody can read (Harmer, 2007). Its users can edit and update the content of their blog posting whenever they are connected to the Internet (Tseng, 2008). To create a blog site, users should initially have a Gmail account and register to one of dozen free-access blog sites, such as www.blogger.com, founded by San Fransisco Company, Pyra Labs in 1999 (Marcus, 2010). After finishing the registration process and creating their blog-site address, e.g., nice.blogspot.com, users can start to post any information on their blog. Everyone who knows the blog address and has an Internet connection can read and leave comments on the post. What are the functions of a blog? Justin Hall created the first weblog site (http://links.net/vita/web/original.html) in 1994 and used it to publish his writing 73 ELTR Journal, e-ISSN 2597-4718, Vol. 3, No. 1, January 2019, pp. 73-81 online, including some links and pictures (Creative Blog Staff, 2014; Thompson, 2006). A blog now has more various functions than just publishing online diaries. For instance, people start to use
