The Use of Journal Writing in Teaching English
Writing
In Indonesian context, writing is considered as painful
activity indicating that oral culture is much better than
writing one. The students’ works are sufficiently kept in the
libraries, although to publish those is much more worthy.
Therefore, the aim of this paper is to improve writing skill by
writing journal articles. This review article is therefore
intended to discuss ways of improving students’ writing skills
through writing journal article.

6. Body
Three types of Journal Writing were applied. Firstly, personal journal in which they recount the
events in their lives and write about topics of their own choosing. Secondly, dialogue journals.
Students and teachers carry on a private conversation with each other through writing. Students
write informally to the teacher about something of interest or a concern, and the teacher
responds. Thirdly, reading logs. Students write in this journal to reflect on their learning in order
to discover gaps in their knowledge, and to explore relationships between what is learning and
their past experiences. All types of Journal Writing were developed in a very organized way.
The result of consulting different existing related literature can be concluded that the ability of
writing can be variously defined based on the pedagogical objectives and approach. Meanwhile,
the skill of writing journal article is classified as one of the writing skills derived from
Process/Cognitive approach. Amongst the underlying ways to publish the students’ manuscripts is
by taking a look at the structure of a journal article, the writing guide and the writing style of a
journal publication to which the manuscript is intended to publish. By implementing the above
mentioned tips of writing a journal article, the EFL students will not only improve their writing
skills but make their works much worthy as well. In a nutshell, in addition to publish the students’
works, to write journal article is essential to improve their writing skills.

7. Conclusion
In the process of learning, the students needed a series of writing
process using journal writing well. By using journal writing in learning
writing process almost all of the students get what they want. It also
requires the teacher to support students to write as well as to evaluate
it. Therefore, journal writing can be very profitably exploited in
