In this time I will continue to review about Research Results and Discussion, and Conclusion.
4️⃣ Research Results and Discussion
▫️Research Results
This study followed 49 African-American students in the fourth grade of a small rural school district. Two of the three classes were used as subjects for the study. The ages of the students ranged from ten to eleven years of age. The classes were heterogeneous comprised of students with varying academic abilities. The results of this study clearly showed that the writing abilities of these students improved quantitatively and qualitatively as a result of DJW. In qualitative results, there are 3 aspects which were examined by the researchers namely: content, language and vocabulary. The current study showed that daily DJW was highly effective in developing African-American fourth-grade students’ writing skills
▫️Language
The data on the subjects’ writing skills in English indicated that all the students made progress in their language skills.
▫️ Vocabulary
Regarding vocabulary in the subjects’ writing, it was shown that there was progress in the use of vocabulary. Both male and female students presented a satisfactory level of vocabulary progress and had new variety in their word choices.
▫️ Discussion
Students usually face difficulties with
vocabulary, and grammar. Therefore, DJW is proposed to help cope with these problems. In order to see the effect of DJW in assisting learners to improve their writing, the following discussions expand on this.
🔸Improving the Students’ Vocabulary
Vocabulary is one of the most significant elements in writing since it will be useful for students to understand the meaning of sentences within a text. The use of DJW is significant to improve the capability of students to enlarge their vocabulary. The improvement of vocabulary happened since the students felt comfortable and free to explore their ideas without feeling threatened by shame for producing mistakes in their writing.
🔸Improving Grammar
Similar to vocabulary, grammar is an essential part of writing because good grammar is needed to understand texts. Therefore the teaching of grammar has to be emphasized.
Regarding grammar problems, Haynes-Mays, et al. (2011), Datzman (2011), and Valigurova (2010) all found that DJW also improves the grammar of students in their writing.
In their research, they all suggested that teachers model appropriate sentence grammar and also more complex grammar in their responses so that the students can expand their knowledge of grammar and apply it in their own writing. Furthermore, through the modeling from their teachers students will become more aware of their own grammatical errors and will improve their grammatical mistakes by themselves.

5️⃣ Conclusion
According to discussion above based on previous research show that, it is even better to apply Dialogue Journal Writing in Indonesia in order to develop the writing skills of learners. This is because by practicing DJW, students will learn how to express their feelings and thoughts in writing within a relaxing and friendly atmosphere that will encourage them to write freely, to take risks in their writing and to have the opportunity for dialogue with their teachers in discussing their problems with writing English.
