Using Electronic Peer Audience and Summary Writing with ESL Students.

Strever, Jan; Newman, Kathryn

Journal of College Reading and Learning, v28 n1 p24-33 Fall 1997

Describes an extension of dialog journals, audience journals. States that, with the advent of e-mail, English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) students can send their journals to an "E-partner," and they can also make meaning by summarizing their E-partners' journal entries which are sent to both E-partner and instructor. Suggests that this technique decentralizes the role of teacher. (PA)
