Abstract

Writing is a complex task and considered as one of the most difficult skills in learning English. Writing is the best way to practice language because it can be used to communicate, explore other subjects, and show students social identities. As explicit literacy skills are modeled through dialogue, the engagement of students needs to be considered. This study aimed at investigating the use of using dialogue journal Writing (DJW) in improving students’ ability in writing argumentative text. This study, which followed the experimental design, was conducted in a class of 30 students at a university in Indramayu. During one semester, the dialogue journal writing (DJW) was used as the treatment to teach writing. Questionnaire was given to students to express their perception to the use of dialogue journal in their classroom. The writing scores of the pretests and posttests were compared using a t test to determine if there is any significant improvement in the students’ writing performance after using dialogue journal.
