Summary/Abstract: Blogs can reinforce students’ learning and can be viewed as a cognitive, communication tool. This technological device used as a didactic tool can turn ordinary learning exercises into more interesting and engaging activities. Moreover, blogs can enrich students’ vocabulary and increase confidence in their learning abilities. The aim of this article is to investigate the use of blogs in learning and teaching to enhance English phraseology acquisition. Thus, empirical research consisting of students’ observations and a test among third form high school learners in Poland was carried out to assess the development of language related to the degree of phraseology acquisition.
