This study aims to examine the effects of dialogue journal writing in the Korean EFL classroom. Thirty-seven eleventh-grade English students in three proficiency groups participated in a 10-week writing interaction session with their teacher. To examine two research questions, data have been collected from a pre-test and a post-test in which students wrote a letter on a familiar topic. In addition, a questionnaire was administered to measure students’ attitude change toward writing in English. The data were analyzed with SPSS to determine the cognitive as well as affective aspects of the experiment. The results showed that dialogue journal writing can be an effective technique to teach writing in the Korean EFL classroom because it provides more communicative opportunities to practice writing in English. Comparing the results of the pre-tests and post-tests indicated that the quality, the quantity, or the syntactic complexity was improved in each proficiency group of students. It also suggested that program development for teaching writing, especially giving responses, is needed.
