Abstract
"Interest in academic writing bids fair in our days to become a key feature when exploring higher education. Especially in English Language Teaching (ELT), writing practices enfold mechanical concerns, but at the same time social and cultural issues at different levels. This investigation attempts to shed some light in this issue. The general purpose of this study is to explore the writing skill in the curriculum of the Licenciatura en la Enseñanza del Inglés (LEI) at the Faculty of Languages of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. The specific objective of this study is to compare this program´s goals in regards to writing to those proposed by the Common European Framework of References (CEFR). Though, it may not be evident to the outside viewer, students in this Faculty experience a complex dependency in regards to their skills in English language writing. Some of the reasons may be found in the discourse proposed by the curriculum. Besides using a quantitative methodology of comparison in regards to the programs to identify and illustrate the differences and similarities between both documents, this investigation includes also critical discourse analysis as a qualitative approach".
