Journal Writing in the Training of International Teaching Assistants.

Stevenson, Isobel; Jenkins, Susan

Journal of Second Language Writing, v3 n2 p97-120 1994

A case study is reported involving a detailed content analysis of the daily journal writing of 20 teaching assistants. Results showed that most students approved of and benefited from journal writing, particularly for improved confidence and language fluency and as an outlet for stress; however, little analytical or reflective writing took place. (Contains 63 references.) (Author/LB)
