Process writing in a product-oriented context: challenges and possibilities

RESUMEN Este trabajo, de carácter descriptivo y cualitativo, investiga las operaciones o subprocesos de planificación textual que lleva a cabo el alumnado de primaria así como las técnicas que emplea en la elaboración de borradores. La investigación se basa en los modelos cognitivos de la escritura y en los principios de la teoría sociocultural del aprendizaje. Para llevar a cabo el estudio, se analizan los episodios encontrados en las interacciones orales de 11 parejas de 5º de primaria de un centro de la región de Navarra (España) y los borradores que estas elaboran en el contexto de una tarea de escritura conjunta de textos expositivo-argumentativos. Los resultados muestran que, en general, el alumnado atiende principalmente al subproceso de generación de ideas, y, en menor medida, a aspectos metalingüísticos, estéticos y de gestión de la tarea. Respecto a las técnicas, se observa que solo seis parejas las utilizan y que presentan diferente nivel de complejidad. Estos resultados, junto a la gran variabilidad encontrada, evidencian la necesidad de trabajar este proceso de manera específica y sistemática en esta etapa.

Summary Technology has altered communication style from face to face to written communication. An increased participation in chats, blogs, and other forms of social media along with a growing trend to work from home or to study on-line has increased the need to perfect academic written communication. Lithuanian students who have been trained in product approach are in desperate need to enhance skills in creativity, self-expression, independence and criticality, skills that can be taught through a process or a post-process approach to writing. An overview of product, process, and post-process approach suggests that second language learners trained in process or post-process approach display significant advantages in academic writing compared to students trained in product approach. Writing has been neglected as a skill for several reasons in Lithuanian English classrooms, yet the demand for academic writing in today’s world is increasing in accelerated speed. Process and post-process approach provides necessary skills that have been highly neglected in ESL teaching in Lithuanian schools and universities.
