ABSTRACT

Introduction: writing is one of the four basic linguistic skills in learning a foreign language. However, its teaching has always been relegated to a second place.
Objective: to make some suggestions to develop writing in the English lessons.
Material and Methods: bliography and documents on the topic were reviewed which allowed us to gather the desired information.
Development: the English language, as a discipline of general training, should develop a comprehensive personality in the students, which involves the capacity of thinking, reasoning, deducing and acting in a creative way in the use of the English language. For this, the student needs to develop, in an integrated way, the linguistic and communicative skills written and orally as well.
Conclusions: the teaching of writing should be stimulated since the elementary level of communicative competence in order to develop a good writing in the students. It is suggested that the teacher includes among his/her teaching strategies, the process of writing and reflects on the importance of its use in the classroom. Besides, it is recommended to focus on this topic that is closely related to the achievement of the communicative competence.
