(Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, 2021-06-03) Benavides Páez, Yury Mabel; Ortiz Vergara, Mariluz
The below qualitative research proposes a skill-based syllabus (Rahimpour2010) design to develop the writing skills and the learning of the writing process through the process approach and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) tool to enhance writing skills and motivated students. The syllabus proposed was based on a need analysis done to students from the 4th to 9th semesters of the Bachelor Degree in English Language Teaching at Universidad Minuto de Dios to recognize the needs, perceptions, and weaknesses of the participants regarding writing skills. The needs, perceptions, and weaknesses were identified using 3 different data collection instruments. (Documents, questionnaires, and interviews) that allowed me to categorize the findings into three categories. Afterward, the categories and subcategories decoded in the needs analysis presented proofs of regular writing skills and low motivation during the writing courses. The pieces of evidence collected were the foundation for the syllabus design that had as result the creation of twelve sessions in which the writing skills and writing process are developing.
