- To explore writing as a means to organize ideas.
- To gain awareness of the linguistic choices the learner is confronted with when writing a text and how this may allow them to control language instead of being controlled by it.
- Different approaches and views to the teaching of writing and the theories that support them.
- Writing: getting the ideas, coping with them and organizing them.
- Types of writing: from the writing of labels to autobiographies.
- Choosing the appropriate writing tasks to meet the learner ´s need.

There will also reflect on the topic and the extent of its learning value.
