According to Marquès (2013), we live in the society of the i-people where digital
immigrants and digital natives coexist (Prensky, 2001). The digital revolution led to an
increasing demand of technologically competent people to face ICT continuous and
quick changes and challenges it produces (Sutton, 2013). In the field of education, a
significant change needed to be carried out in order to adapt the current educational
paradigm to the language of the “native digital speakers” (Prensky, 2001).
As important as being technologically competent is acquiring the habit of autonomous
learning. Dealing with the teaching of the writing skill, we will be successful promoting
it only if we focus on the writing process and we provide the students with the
necessary tools to achieve it. Otherwise, it will be a failure (Harmer, 2004).
This Final Master Project, framed within the Educational Innovation modality, is based
on the design and implementation of a blog as a complement material of a textbook in a
first year of Higher Secondary Education. It was conducted during the academic course
2014-2015.
The aim of this paper is twofold: (i) to give students the opportunity to improve their
writing skills by practising the different stages of the writing process; and (ii) to
encourage them to develop a habit of autonomous learning through the use of new
technologies. The methodology followed consisted of a combination of the traditional
approach and task-based language learning strategies besides the integration of ICT in
the classroom. Throughout the implementation of this unit, the students wrote two
reviews and fulfilled a series of tasks linked to different writing stages. The results of
the comparison between the initial piece of writing and the last composition have been
analysed in order to test the effectiveness of this pedagogical proposal.
Results suggest that both the combination of the traditional and task-based approach and
the use of new technologies help students to improve their writing skills. In addition,
this methodology has encouraged them to develop a habit of autonomous learning. [-]
