Presentation
Writing is an essential tool for communication. As educators should be concerned to develop in students the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to be competent users of written communication.
Justification
Writing is a communication tool that allows us to express opinions, communicate messages, display ideas, and transferring knowledge. According
Cassany (1997), writing is to communicate coherently in writing, producing texts of considerable length on a topic of general culture.
Communicative competence is essential in the development whole student. From birth the child develops the language as a way to get in touch with the world. Later school education promotes the more formal aspects of language and more complex forms of expression.
develop the capacity for speaking, listening, reading, writing allows children and young people to express, learn, learn, learn, briefly joining the world, be part of it.
According to the exit profile established for basic education that the student is expected to complete their secondary education: Use oral and written language clearly, fluently and appropriately, to interact in different social contexts.
Modernity has placed within reach of most extraordinary tools of communication such as the Internet allows us to establish contact almost immediately with people who are on the other side of the world. This type of communication is primarily written. Paradoxically
now far-reaching possibilities, our children show many deficiencies in their writing. The test
LINK (National Assessment of Academic Achievement in Schools) applied to all students in third through sixth grade is noted that in 2006, 82.20% of students reached sixth grade level or elementary insufficient in the subject English, slightly improved situation in 2007 when the index fell nearly four percentage points, with even very high number of children not reached a level good or excellent in this area that is oriented toward mastery of communication tools .
being more specific in what has developed writer is concerned, the National Institute of Educational Evaluation (INEE) has developed a national study called "Learning from writing in basic education in Mexico," published in 2006.
This evaluation found that in sixth grade nationally 17.6 percent of students in the lowest level of achievement at Level II 45.4, 30.2 at Level III, 5.6 in Level IV and only 1.3 percent in the highest level. The first two levels represent the writing skills that are below the minimum expected, note that in them lies 63 percent of students in the country.
objective:
• apply strategies of textual production to contribute to the development of written communication skills of students in sixth grade the Esc ... Theoretical framework
The concept of writing.
According to the cognitive conception, writing is a process that requires the active participation of the writer who must apply complex mental operations: planning, drafting and revising. Each of these operations requires that the writer takes into account various textual levels that involve several aspects: purpose of writing, potential readers, plan of action for the task of writing, content, text type characteristics, appropriate vocabulary, morphosyntax rules , cohesion, spelling, etc..
Thus, writing is understood as the production of texts of various kinds and various purposes, a complex high cognitive impairment, who need to spend enough time in the classroom to meet the different phases through which passes the development of a text. Investigations into the operations used by those who dominate the writing-speaking countries (Cassany, 1993; Teberosky, 1995; Jolibert, 1997) indicate that the task of writing a coherent text and suitable for their purpose is not done directly but in several and recurrent stages in which the writer must coordinate a set of specific procedures: 1) Planning (purpose of the letter, predictable player, content), 2) Drafting or contextualization (text type characteristics, appropriate vocabulary, morphosyntax legislation, cohesion, spelling punctuation marks), and 3) Review (The return on what has been written, re-reading and evaluating it.)
What is communicative competence?
says Daniel Cassany microskills list that must be mastered to get the written communication skills, covering many issues, from motor mechanics and stroke of the letters, calligraphy or submission of writing up aspects more thoughtful selection and management of information, or even of cognitive strategies to generate ideas, review and reformulation. It should also include knowledge of linguistic units (alphabet, words, paragraphs, texts) and their properties (spelling, punctuation, coaherencia, etc.).
items needed to know how to write can be classified into three categories:
Concepts:
- Knowledge of the linguistic code that must have a writer and allow you to use language effectively (basic knowledge of spelling, grammar, consistency, types of text.)
Skills:
psychomotor
- Knowledge trace the letters
-
Cognitive calligraphy
- Generate and organize ideas
- Check or rephrase a text
Attitudes - The values \u200b\u200band opinions that the individual has on language and writing.
- Motivation, interest and even pleasure or boredom you can feel the student to the fact of writing.
A writer should have sufficient knowledge of the written code, and there should be able to apply writing strategies.
written code is the set of abstract knowledge on a written language that we stored in the brain. In general we are not too aware of their presence. You learn through different ways: reading, memorization of written texts, the study of grammar rules, a copy of excerpts from texts that we like. We use this knowledge to process texts, either encoding or decoding, reading or writing.
contrast, the composition process consists of the set of strategies we use to produce a written text. These strategies are the sum of actions taken since we decided to write something until we give the nod to the latest version of the text. Much of these actions or strategies can be observed externally and, therefore, the writer is more aware of their existence.
The new conception of literacy.
The profile of a good writer
Studies (Cassany Camps 1987 and 1990) were able to characterize those elements that distinguish students who are good writers:
Reading: competent writers are good readers or have been at some period of his life. Reading is the primary means of code written.
Awareness of the audience (readers): The competent writers, they write, spend time thinking about what they mean, how you say, what the receiver already knows, and so on. Planning
text: the writers have a mental outline of the text they write, is made an image of what they want to write, and also how they will work. Re-read the pieces written
: As the writer writes reread the fragments have already written to see if really fits what it means and also to link them with what to write next.
Review Text: While writing and reread the text, the author reviews and makes changes and improvements.
recursive writing process: The writing process is cyclical and flexible. The author rarely conforms to the first scheme or plan of the text, it is modified during the drafting of the letter as new ideas occur to him and incorporated in the text.
Support Strategies: During composition, the author also uses support strategies. Generally consulted dictionaries grammar books or to remove any information that does not have and need. Hypothesis
The use of textual production strategies helps to improve written communication skills of sixth graders at the School .... Type
research
The research conducted is of the action research because the researcher himself is part of the teaching-learning studies. Application
It will be held the application of some strategies of textual production, with a group of sixth grade. Results will be published later.
