Dialogue Journals is the good way to get to know children better by having a dialogue or conversation in dialogue journal. It affects not only relationship between teacher and children but also children’s writing in response to teachers’ requests.
“Dialogue journals are especially effective in promoting the writing development of English learner .Researchers have found that these children are more successful writers when they choose their own topics for writing and when their teachers contribute to the dialogue with requests for a reply, statements, and other comments(Reyes,1991)”
“Partners engaging in this process communicate regularly with students picking and initiating topics while a more proficient writer writes back, responds to questions and concerns, and asks follow-up questions.”(Peyton,1997;Staton,1987)
