The aim of this study is to analyze the writing errors made by first-year undergraduate Medicine students in the English classroom at a Spanish university. Forty-nine subjects enrolled in the English for Health Sciences module were expected to subtitle short videos not only implementing medical vocabulary seen in previous lessons, but also using Open Educational Resources (OERs), more specifically Bombay TV. This online tool allows learners to practise and develop their writing skills in the target language as well as their autonomy and creativity. Results showed that the most frequently committed errors were, in order, punctuation, spelling, wrong verb choice, wrong word choice, pronouns, fragment, word order, articles, verb tense, subject-verb agreement, nouns, prepositions, capitalization and adjectives respectively. Moreover, the negative transfer of students’ first language (L1) occasionally resulted in a lack of grammar and vocabulary accuracy that should be taken into account in order to enhance students’ writing competence in the target language. A final questionnaire revealed that the use of new technologies in the foreign language classroom triggered students’ motivation. Likewise, students are provided with corrective feedback, a practice used in the field of education. Given that OERs are key in the study, the focus will be on online feedback. [-]

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar los errores de expresión escrita cometidos por los alumnos de primer curso del grado de Medicina en la clase de inglés de una universidad española. Se pretendía que 49 estudiantes inscritos en la asignatura de Inglés para Ciencias de la Salud subtitularan vídeos de corta duración en los que no solo tenían que poner en práctica el vocabulario adquirido en sesiones previas, sino que también tenían que utilizar Recursos Educativos Abiertos (REA), en concreto Bombay TV. Esta herramienta online permite a los alumnos practicar y desarrollar sus habilidades escritas en la lengua meta así como su autonomía y creatividad. Los resultados muestran que los errores más cometidos son, por orden: artículos, tiempo verbal, concordancia sujeto-verbo, sustantivos, preposiciones, uso de mayúsculas y adjetivos respectivamente. Además, la transferencia negativa de la lengua materna de los estudiantes ocasionalmente desembocó en una falta de exactitud gramatical y léxica, la cual debería tenerse en cuenta para mejorar la competencia escrita en la lengua meta. Un cuestionario final reveló que el uso de las nuevas tecnologías en la clase de lengua extranjera aumentó la motivación de los alumnos. Asimismo, se proporcionará a los alumnos comentarios de corrección para que mejoren sus escritos. Dado que las REA son clave en este estudio, nos centraremos especialmente en los comentarios en línea. [-]
