The impact of the reflective journal on learning linguistics

Abstract EN

This article examines the effect of using the reflective journal on learning linguistics at the university level. Reflective learning presupposes learners’ active engagement in their learning through reflection ; writing can be the best way to achieve that end.

Consequently, an experimental study was designed for first-year students of English at Badji Mokhtar University, Annaba.

For ten sessions, eighteen students used the reflective journal as a tool of reflection in every linguistics session.

The results of this study showed the positive effect of this tool on learning linguistics, in developing learners’ skills and even in raising the success rate.
