THE DIALOGUE JOURNAL: A TOOL TO IMPROVE TEACHER-STUDENT COMMUNICATION

Abstract

Affective communication between teachers and students is as essential
as verbal communication between them. This is a fact we have learned through
our work in the four-week intensive intermediate courses of English that have
been given in our Medical College since 1996. In learning this remarkable
reality, the application of the so-called “dialogue journal” has played a very
important role.
