In particular, it discusses the role of the topic sentence in expository paragraphs through four writing dimensions: the syntactic, communicative, cognitive, and semantic dimensions. First, the syntactic dimension and its overfocus in the product approach to teaching writing are put into perspective. Later, the communicative, cognitive, and semantic dimensions of writing are integrated into the analysis of the topic sentence. Last but not least, this research advocates the view that the topic sentence represents a concept that integrates the four writing dimensions already mentioned since it works as a fundamental component in organizing ideas in a paragraph to guide readers to the contents of an expository text".pdfengHUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTAInglés--Estudio y enseñanza (Educación media superior)--Hablantes extranjerosAdquisición de segunda lengua--Estudios de casosInglés--Inglés escritoInglés--PárrafosRedacción de escritos técnicosEscritos académicosTesis de licenciaturaopenAccess
