La conexión lectura-escritura en la enseñanza de las lenguas extranjeras

Abstract

The interaction between reading and writing has not been given the attention that it deserves in foreign language teaching. By the same token, both skills have been traditionally taught in a separate form which runs counter to the learner’s acquisition of one of the skills or both. This study proposes that the more language students the larger his or her capacity to write in the foreign language. Reading and writing complement each other in such a way that they give the language instructor the opportunity to create a more dynamic classroom atmosphere and the learner the opportunity to practice the skills in an environment characterized by the oral and written communication of their feelings, opinions and values.
