ORTIZ OLIVA, Rodney  e  MIJARES NUNEZ, Luis. Empirical characterization of the written expression ability in English in a high school in the Mayabeque province. Rev. Mendive [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.1  Epub 30-Mar-2023. ISSN 1815-7696.

The development of the written expression ability in English in the Cuban Pre-University is a necessity. Characterizing this process was the objective of the study. Initially, a historical-logical analysis of the literature revealed the need for the design of authentic and contextualized tasks, to achieve the communicative, interactive and reflective character of said process, and a flexible, strategic, action-oriented process-product approach. that stimulates self-regulation and technological mediation. It was an empirical characterization of the development of said ability in the province of Mayabeque, which constituted a descriptive qualitative study in which a class observation guide was used. A study guide of the teachers' lesson plans and a pedagogical test with a sample of 78 people, made up of students, teachers, managers and methodologists, revealed that the students did not reach the pre-intermediate level of development of the written expression skill in English. Insufficiencies were also identified in the authenticity of the writing tasks designed, in the interactivity of the writing process, in the lack of balance between activities aimed at linguistic correction and those focused on appropriate use. Additionally, the non-inclusion of reflection and self-regulation, insufficient technological mediation and limitations in the cognitive-affective unit were identified. The results obtained demonstrate the need to transform said object of study through the design of a communicative, developer and technologically mediated methodology.
