Improvement of the writing of a student from the distance education at Universidad Tecnica Particular de Loja

Abstract:

The theme of this thesis is “A case study based on improvement of the writing skill of a student from the distance education at Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja -TEFL Program Portfolio”. The Case Study aims at analyzing the improvement of the writing skill of a student, who was enrolled in the distance education of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. This student was selected randomly in order to apply a pre-test, posttest and self-assessment through eight artifacts, which show the student´s progress on the above mentioned skill. On the other hand, the TEFL portfolio shows how some assignments, which were carried out in the Master’s program, are linked to the TESOL/NCATE standards. To fulfil this purpose, five assignments with their corresponding rationale were selected according to each standard. As a general conclusion, it was shown that through the use of artifacts and assistance of the teacher, the student definitely improved his writing skill in a short period of time. In addition, most of the assignments developed in the Master’s program fit with the TESOL standards, which are very useful for people involved in the teaching of a foreign language.
