Abstract(s)
In this article we would like to disseminate our reflection and analysis on the high potential which digital
resources may have in teaching creative writing in English, as well as in promoting the learning of a foreign
language, within a collaborative environment. The work aims at identifying good practices in the use of
Google Workspace, Padlet and Issuu, among other digital tools, which were used with seventy secondary
students.
It consists of a study, following an action-research methodology in the classroom, applying digital teaching
strategies with learners of a second language. It is focused on a creative and collaborative writing process
and on the attempt of promoting collaborative skills, with the common goal of developing imagination in
the conception of fictional and creative stories. The collected data, of a qualitative nature, was obtained
by direct observation and textual analysis of the final products. We were led by the following key question: “What are the digital pedagogical strategies that can
contribute to the creative and collaborative writing competence, in a foreign language, with secondary
school students?”. Having this in mind we were interested in examining the potential of a writing
collaborative activity, in a digital environment, as a stimulus to learning the linguistic rules and expanding
the vocabulary. Additionally we were determined in analyzing the results of the assessment executed
among peers, applying selected rubrics for the competences of cooperation and participation.
