Ingeniería Writing written production communicative approach english as a foreign language This article reports the findings of a research study carried out in 2006. The purpose of the study was to design and implement a didactic proposal within the postulates of the Communicative Approach, aimed at improving the writing skills of ninth grade-high school monolingual students in Cali, Colombia, through narrative writing. The data was gathered through a diagnostic stage and an intervention stage. The findings show that after investigation stage, students improved their ability to write in English: their texts exhibited creativity and contained fewer surface errors. Students´ attitude also changed positively and they were more interested in and committed to writing in English. This findings in line with those in previous studies which suggest that low-level protficiency students can be gradually introduced to writing by offering them a clear purpose to write, choosing topics from their daily life, and guiding them through their wring process. 2009 artículo científico 0121-0777 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=47811604004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=478 El Hombre y la Máquina application/pdf Universidad Autónoma de Occidente El Hombre y la Máquina (Colombia) Num.32
