Internal means inside, so that would be a dialogue that takes place inside the character's mind.
Dialogue and internal thoughts can tell the reader a lot about the character's personality. They can also advance the plot and add to the story.
Basically one is correct and one isn't. The accepted term in both psychology and literary usage is "internal monologue." A dialogue is between two people. A monologue involves one person. Although the term internal dialogue is sometimes used by people, it isn't the correct usage, unless of course your characters have multiple personalities.
Setting, language, and Internal dialogue
Dialogue is the connection between two people communicating. Dialogue is used widely in films, novels etc.
While reading the story, I noticed that the author used archaic words in the dialogue, making it hard to understand.Many teenagers don't have a big dialogue when on the phone.Solving the conflict in the Middle East will never occur without dialogue between the sides.The actors in the play were excellent, but the dialogue was miserably bad.
Depending on how it is used, dialogue can be a noun or a verb.As a noun, dialogue is a conversation between two or more people.As a verb, it means to discuss. (Dialogue is not often used as a verb.)

To determine the characterization technique used by the author in an excerpt, look for descriptions of the character's actions, thoughts, dialogue, or interactions with others. These elements can provide insight into the character's personality, motivations, and beliefs. By analyzing how the author presents these aspects, you can identify whether the characterization is direct (explicitly stated) or indirect (implied through actions and dialogue).
