eng	Blogs in Presentation Skills for Teachers	This presentation focuses on the use of blogs blended in the course of Presentation Skills for Teachers. At first, the presentation discusses the role of blogs in the context of formal education, particularly in the study field of English for Education. Those functions of blogs which can enhance the professional competence development of student English language teachers (Píšová et al., 2013; Píšová, 2007) are examined from the perspectives of the knowledge base for teaching (Shulman, 2006) and the teacher as the reflective practitioner (Schön, 1983, 1987; Korthagen, 2001). Thus, the aim of the presentation is to investigate how the integration of blog assignments in the syllabus of the course may contribute to student teachers’ pedagogical-technological content knowledge (Mishra and Koehler, 2006) development. For its applied effect, the research strategy selected is action research as it enables the course teacher, and in the same time researcher, to reflect critically the process of blog blending. The presentation introduces the action plan, analyzes learners’ products, blogs, and discusses blog blending in the face-to-face instruction. Findings suggest that blogs may contribute to deeper understanding of student teachers’ reflective processes and thus promote the interface of explicit and implicit learning.	blogs; Presentation Skills for Teachers
