It forms a rich source of information about how young students think, manage their social interactions, and use language with competence to get things done. By selecting dialogue journal writing as a corpus for analysis, it is possible to observe children's communicative competence in using written language purposefully, apart from their ability to master a particular form of writing. The central argument is that dialogue journal communication represents a kind of personal literacy, prior to and more comprehensive than the particular literacies emphasized and assessed in schools. The contents include a practitioner's view of the practice itself and a summary of the research study methods developed to analyze interactive written conversations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ablex Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45083271790743,"sku":"9780893914318","price":6025.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780893914318.webp?v=1767263761","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dialogue-journal-communication-classroom-linguistic-social-and-cognitive-views-9780893914318","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
