Abstract

To improve or develop writing skills, it is essential to use strategies where students may be able to practice. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the use of Shared Dictation Strategy to develop the writing skill in students from Unidad Básica of PINE English training at “Universidad Técnica de Ambato. This research was developed on students from Unidad Básica of “Carrera de Pedagogía de Los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros”. It is divided into the first, second, and third semester at Universidad Técnica de Ambato. The current research maintains qualitative and quantitative approaches to obtain relevant information. Two online surveys were applied to analyze the use of shared dictation strategy to improve or develop the writing skills during the teaching-learning process. The descriptive level research was used to find out if students and teachers know or use the shared dictation strategy. To find out results, Chi- Cuadrado was applied to obtain essential information for this research. Main findings suggest teachers have used the shared dictation strategy during the teaching process. Therefore, students have practiced their writing skills through this strategy, but they do not always use it to promote or improve their writing skills
