Resumen

Introducción One of the objectives for teaching English language is to be able to write in a coherent and cohesive way for different purposes. Therefore, there is a necessity to be capable to communicate in an appropriate way. This involves having to be aware of the different linguistic aspects like grammar that has different tenses, auxiliaries which are necessary when writing, articles, idiomatic usages, vocabulary. Thus, writing is a difficult skill since it implies producing it in a more correct or formal manner with good spelling, wide range of vocabulary but more importantly to be able to transmit a message.

Objetivos Analyze the impact of daily journals in the development of writing skill.

Método Quantitative approach. Through this research the dat collection was gathered by applying a pre-test and post-test.

Principales resultados The results of the pre-test in comparison to the post-test were lower since they did not have a clear idea on how to respond the test which was developing a story or narrative. On the other hand, after the treatment of Daily journals and the writing skill, the students’ grades increased due to the practice they received on every session. Thus, it can be said that after the treatment the students developed better stories to tell in their journals and consequently improved their writing skill.

Conclusiones The use of Daily journals impacted positively on the students’ writing skill. Hence, thanks to all the achieved results, it was possible to conclude that the students of third semester at PINE developed their writing skill in a better way through the use of Daily journals. In fact, it was proved that the stated hypothesis could be accepted due to the statistics of the T-student method using SPSS program provided. That way, the students had the opportunity to be engaged in writing and improve their skills since Daily journals are an open door to express freely.
