To obtain a representative sample of the study population, four parallels corresponding to this level were randomly selected. These number of students were 119 and they were divided into two groups; the experimental group and the control group. These groups were examined through the pre-test and post-test. After applying these assessment instruments, the data analysis was carried out and it reflected significant progress in the development of writing skills through the use of portfolios. In addition, it was evidenced that the use of portfolios in the class helps the students to be more autonomous in their learning process since the portfolios help to provide a feedback of the tasks they perform and this is the reason why the portfolios benefit the development of the writing process and therefore to the improvement of written production. Due to these factors, the proposal of this research work was developed and it is focused on the use of activities to develop the writing process through the use of portfolios.
