Dialogic vs. Monologic Rhetoric Most students have had at least one bad teacher during their time in school. Looking back, many of the classes I didn’t enjoy or struggled with had teachers who treated the classroom like it was a one-sided conversation. In that case the teacher is engaging in monologic conversation, and in this paper, I will be discussing why dialogic conversation is more beneficial to the listener than monologic. This will be supported by talking about how rhetoric has evolved from Aristotle to Bakhtin, Aristotle’s version of monologic conversation, and how dialogic conversation would be more helpful in situations such as the classroom.
