| dc.description.abstract | This article explores how dialogue journals can be used as a silent kit to improve writing
skill. Sixty-five primary school teachers with limited English proficiency wrote dialogue
journals in a teachers-training course during nine weeks. Data was gathered from their
journal entries and post-study questionnaires. Dialogue journal was found effective to
foster the development of descriptive writing, usage of correct syntax & vocabulary,
critical thinking and finally to raise learners’ confidence in writing English. This article
presents findings with necessary literature review and concludes with a number of
recommendations on how EFL practitioners can use journals effectively to promote
writing fluency of their students. | en_US |
