Abstract

When all students assume that it is a difficult subject to understand, it is a teacher’s duty to find a way to solve that problem. Teacher needs to provide a tool or media to make students able to grasp materials easily, express ideas freely, and participate actively in class discussion, and learning journal could be an alternative to achieve those purposes. This paper will discuss of how learning journal can help students grasp the course content and how students respond toward the implementation of the journal in learning process. It is a descriptive research-based while the instruments used to obtain the data are observation sheet, students’ journals, and reflective forms. The results of the research show that students engaged actively in classroom discussion. They also considered that journal help them to prepare the materials being discussed, so they could express their opinions well. However, the feedback of the teacher was still needed for it did not draw attention on the language errors only, he could focus more attention on the course content, especially to ensure that students had found the answers of their questions.
