Kajian dalam bidang penulisan menyokong aktiviti penulisan berbentuk bebas untuk membina kemahiran penulisan kepada pelajar bahasa pertama dan kedua. Penggunaan jurnal berbentuk dialog adalah salah satu aktiviti di dalam penulisan bebas yang memberi peluang pelajar meneroka dan mencuba bahasa itu sendiri. Kemunculan teknologi komputer telah memberikan kesan yang tiada tandingnya di dalam pengajaran bahasa. Kajian yang dilakukan oleh Lee (1998) dan Warschaeur (1995) menyatakan keberkesanan penggunaan mel elektronik dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggeris di mana pelajar dan pengajar boleh berkomunikasi secara formal dan tidak formal. Selain itu, mel–elektronik juga boleh digunakan untuk bertukar jurnal dialog. Tujuan kertas kerja ini ialah untuk melihat keberkesanan dari segi kuantiti dan kualiti mel–elektronik sebagai alat di dalam jurnal dialog kepada pelajar lelaki dan perempuan daripada Pusat Matrikulasi, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa teknik pengajaran ini berkesan – kesemua subjek menunjukkan peningkatan dalam kemahiran menulis.
