This article examines the different writing practices carried out in Spanish universities and the methodology used to promote and teach the development of writing competences. The data in this study pertain to nine Spanish universities, 280 teachers and 1,044 undergraduate students from these universities. The data also refer to student and faculty perceptions of the importance attached to the writing process, the amount of time spent on it and the dimensions or aspects of the competence they consider the most important. Furthermore, the article examines the writing practices proposed by the teachers as well as the ones identified by and assigned to the students. On some of the variables, the results suggest opposing perceptions between the two groups and at the same time highlight differences depending on the fields of knowledge. This sheds light on different ways to include the writing process in university education.
Con el trabajo fin de grado se espera que los estudiantes sean capaces de ir más allá de “decir el conocimiento”, dialogando con los interlocutores y posicionándose respecto a los contenidos de los que hablan. Este estudio se propone analizar estas dimensiones interactivas del texto examinando, según la teorización del metadiscurso, 116 introducciones y conclusiones de TFG de las áreas de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas, Ciencias de la Salud y de la Educación producidos en castellano entre los años 2017 y 2019. Los resultados aportan evidencias de que en los TFG se reconoce la presencia del lector, pero la interacción con él parece requerir una mayor armonización del posicionamiento con el que se presentan los juicios u opiniones y una relación dialógica que asegure una negociación interpersonal cuidadosa. De este conocimiento se derivan implicaciones didácticas concretas para la mejora de la formación en comunicación académica de los universitarios.

This article aims to conduct a systematic review of studies on teaching of Spanish as a foreign Language (ele) for the specific purpose of foreign trade in Vocational and Applied Education in China between 2000 and 2019. A search in the two most well-known and used bibliographic bases in China (China National Knowledge Infrastructure -cnkiand wanfang data) allows to identify the thematic areas on study so far: ele curricular development; the role of foreign languages in the training of professionals in foreign trade; and activities and strategies for teaching. There is still a very recent interest (especially since 2009) in this field of study. The results draw an overview of the emergence of different challenges, including the study of communication and learning needs of ele for different professional performances.
