Reading logs or reading response journals have been used widely in ESL courses to teach reading. The approach requiring students to record their reactions and questions following the reading of an authentic text is one way of integrating reading with writing. Research in both L1 and L2 shows the effectiveness of using an interactive approach to reading instruction. (Carrell and Eisterhold 1983; Petrosky 1982; Swaffar et al. 1991; Zamel 1992). There is general agreement that the reader's active participation in organizing and evaluating information while reading a text is essential to reading comprehension. Most ESL teachers use reading logs with novels or stories since the approach works well with literary texts. But the approach is also useful in ESP courses such as business English. In this article, I will discuss my experience with reading logs in an ESP course and the reactions of my students.
