EXPERIENCE REPORTS ABOUT TEACHING AND LEARNING WRITING IN SPANISH IN DISTANCE EDUCATION IN RIO GRANDE DO NORTE

Abstract

Based on the reports of teachers and students of Spanish as a foreign language (ELE) of the Distance Education (EaD) modality, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte - RN, we present reflections on how teaching and learning to write this language were taking place in a Spanish Language course. For this purpose, we apply questionnaires to students and teachers of an intermediate level Spanish language subject. The work was theoretically based on Abarca (2008), Baptista (2013), Carvalho (2009, 2010 and 2018), Eres Fernández et al. (2012), etc. It was observed, among other aspects, that although the teaching of Spanish in this educational modality has expanded a lot in recent years in the country, there is still a need to improve the efficient use of digital textual genres available in the virtual learning environment (AVA) for favor the teaching of writing and teacher-student interaction.
