BALLEN-VARGAS, Stephania  y  HERRERA-GONZALEZ, Andrés Felipe. Challenges in the Teaching and Learning Processes of Academic Writing in the Bachelor of Modern Languages (LLM) of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá. Signo pensam. [online]. 2017, vol.36, n.71, pp.100-113. ISSN 0120-4823.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.syp36-71.rpea.

The research is framed in the studies related to academic literacy and the writing processes within disciplines. The main objective was to identify from what concepts of writing the curriculum of the LLM provides its students with strategies for writing. To establish the theoretical foundations, we carried out a historical sweep of the studies on writing in linguistics and we reviewed the contributions concerning the concept of academic writing. Results show that there is a “polysemy” of the term academic writing, which suggests a wide diversity of methodological approaches in the classrooms. During the research process, there was also a discussion about the differences between writing in the L1 and the L2, and the relevance of creating dialogues between different program areas to establish clear criteria for evaluation and providing feedback of texts. Finally, we conclude that it is necessary to discuss disciplinary issues in language studies because academic writing processes will be hampered without a defined and shared field of study.

Palabras clave : concepts of writing; academic literacy; academic writing; writing throughout the curriculum; language bachelor degree.
