Findings from an attitudinal survey performed reveal that the students had an exceptionally positive attitude for weblogging. A survey was distributed at the end of the course to all participating students to gather feedback and input on student views in relation to the classroom-blogging activities employed. A convenience sampling from Jilin University-Lambton College (JULC) consisted of 71 Chinese university students from three different EAP classes participated in this exploratory action research based on weblogging experiences for language learning in English. In addition to reading and writing practice, weblogs allow the learners to share their thoughts and ideas through blog posts made on the forum section and walls wherein the resulting language exchanges expose them to authentic uses of language that supplemented classroom activities and experiences. Weblogs provide the students with extensive opportunities to put what they are learning in the classroom to use in expressive, interactive, and immersive ways. This paper presents the implementation of weblogging activities in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program of Jilin University-Lambton College in China. Given its educational affordances, the utilization of weblogs in English Language Teaching (ELT) and English Language Learning (ELL) is deemed indispensable. Weblogging, for instance, has already established itself in the popular media. The use of personal web publishing and social networking tools has been an emerging practice in the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning or CALL (Campbell, 2003). In addition to indicating a change or linguistic shift in the Ambon Malay pantun, this paper is also expected to mark the change or shift of poetics of the Malay pantun as an oral tradition or oral literature. This paper aims to unveil the phenomenon of the shift of diction or the choice of words in Ambonese pantun through the poetic theoretical approach.

In addition, there are many rhymes that appear to be newly created by some writers, so that the dictionary words choice no longer seem to heed the pantun. In manuscripts or books containing Ambon Malay pantuns still and read and delivered nowadays, there are some pantun that are no longer obedient to the standard structure of pantun, like rhymes and stanza. This phenomenon is supported by the fact that the tradition is rarely performed and the texts of Ambon Malay pantun are rarely found, whether in the form of books or other manuscripts.
