    Descripción de procesos en la composición escrita de estudiantes universitarios para un desarrollo multilingüe y tecnológico.
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) González, Rosario Arroyo
    The purpose of this investigation is to describe the cognitive-linguistic, metacognitve-affective, and socio-cultural processes involved in written composition of university students. These processes are universally applied by expert writers in any language, thus may be considered developmental processes in the multilingual writer. Furthermore, these processes are essential in technological communication. A methodological design was used in this study, in which written cognitive interviews were conducted with a sample of 86 university students. The Method of Content Analysis allowed the application of a categorization system which operatively defined the written processes expressed by students. In terms of frequency, the results showed that university students display a certain degree of procedural, affective and socio-cultural writing competence, and that there is a need for specific programmes which foster professional and scientific use of written composition stressing the importance of conditional processes.
