Resumen

Los estudiantes universitarios de niveles avanzados tienen dificultades con muchos aspectos de la escritura académica en inglés. El propósito de este artículo es reportar un estudio que buscó analizar cómo la escritura colaborativa a través del trabajo por proyectos puede contribuir al desarrollo de la escritura académica de los estudiantes universitarios. Las composiciones escritas por los estudiantes antes de la implementación de este proyecto de investigación, mostraron que el manejo del inglés era muy limitado en cuanto a la forma y el contenido. Los resultados sugieren falta de estructura apropiada, organización de las ideas y argumentación, y en algunos casos desviación del tema dado.
