    Students use the ability to write to express their ideas, however, the process of writing correctly in English requires a systematic, logical and controlled sequence by teachers and students. Therefore, it aims to analyze the use of guided writing for the development of the written production of the Tourism and Hospitality students. Through a previous test, students have been able to express their thoughts, but not in an organized way. After the application of the strategy and the results of the subsequent test, they have changed their performance. So that the research is carried out based on the phenomenological and ontological epistemological approach. In addition, this research has a quantitative approach and the data is processed through statistics and qualitative due to the quality of the message delivered. The information is collected through 26 units of study, to which a semi-structured questionnaire is applied. The data show that there is a positive change in the majority of the students in all the components worked, that is, in the content an average of 3.3 was obtained, in the communicative achievement 1.6, in the organization 1.6 and in the language 2, 2.

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.
