Abstract

This article is a literature review intended to show the benefits of the use of ‘dialogue journal’ through e-mail technology to improve students’ writing skills in the English Language and how its application can enhance the teaching and learning of the English Language in the Malaysian secondary schools. In addition, this paper also discusses the potential of e-mail, and how it can be an
attractive teaching and learning medium that can help generate interest among the students and help improve their learning. Reviewing the literature, not many studies have been conducted to ascertain the potential of the use of dialogue journal through e-mail, particularly in the Malaysian context of educational language research. There are many research opportunities for us to explore to
understand the benefits of such technology in enhancing the students’ interest, the level of studentteacher interaction and standard of writing in Malaysia.
