With this report I intend to share an experience about the use of some strategies of the process oriented approach with which I guided 9th graders at República del Ecuador school in 2004. This was a group of low-achieving teenagers whose writing was the least developed of the skills. Connecting ideas and getting coherence in a text was a daunting task for them. It was not really very difficult to guide the learners to write. The best products were those in which pictures were involved. In general they showed great interest and better outcomes resulted from pictures than from words. The simpler the task given, the better the written results. The teacher’s role was essentially that of a model and facilitator. Key words: Process writing approach, writing skills, writing tasks Con este informe pretendo compartir una experiencia acerca del uso de algunas estrategias de la escritura orientada como proceso, con la cual guié a estudiantes de noveno grado de la I.E.D. República del Ecuador en 2004. Se trata de grupo de adolescentes con bajo nivel de inglés cuya habilidad de producción escrita era la menos desarrollada de todas. Conectar ideas y dar coherencia a un texto era para ellos una tarea titánica. Realmente no fue difícil guiar a los estudiantes hacia la escritura. En general, los estudiantes mostraron gran interés; hubo mejores producciones a partir de imágenes que de palabras. Cuanto más simple se mostrara la actividad, mejores resultados se obtuvieron. El papel del profesor fue esencialmente el de modelo y facilitador. Palabras claves: Enfoque de escritura por procesos, habilidades de escritura, tareas de escritura
