Abstract

This study investigates the role of dialogic interactions in second language writing classrooms in an English-medium university in the UAE. Expanding Bakhtin’s (1981) concept of dialogism, the study further compares two different modes of dialogic interactions, online and offline (or face-to-face), between a writing instructor and students during individual writing conferences with respect to their impact on the revision process. Results from a total of 120 drafts from 60 students show that dialogic interactions between the instructor and an individual student, which was implemented during a writing conference, had a positive impact on content development in revision, and there was no difference found between online and face-to-face dialogic interactions. The findings of the study shed light on the importance of interactions and collaboration between the teacher and students, which can be achieved via various ways such as online and offline methods.
