Diary writing as a tool for students’ self-reflection and teacher’s
feedback in the Course of Academic Writing

Diary writing is a very effective and natural tool for both students and teachers since this informal writing enables students to
reflect on what they have learned, how they have learned it, what kind of difficulties they have when they have to write in formal
English or what helps them to overcome these and other difficulties in the process of learning English.
Diary writing is undoubtedly a very effective strategy for the whole learning process. However, it is not as easy
as it seems since not all the students are willing to share it with their teacher and not all the students are ready to
write the diary entries as the course has shown so far. Nevertheless, writing diaries is very useful both for the teacher
in getting students’ feedback about their learning constraints and difficulties and for students to learn how to learn.
