摘要

While lecturing instruction is still widely being practiced in reading and literature class, students' responses and their interactions with instructors and peers however have been greatly valued and strongly encouraged. Response journal writing activity thus has become one of the frequently used tasks that instructors of reading and literature class would assign as a course requirement for students to fulfill. This paper conceptualizes the task activity of utilizing response journals with students. The paper covers and discusses the following aspects: 1) benefits of implementing response journals, 2) suggestions of types of response journals to be applied, 3) suggestions of types of responses to be included and identified in students' journals, and 4) key factors to make the activity successful.
