JARAMILLO URRUTIA, Lorena y MEDINA GUTIERREZ, Ana Stella. Adolescents' Awareness of Environmental Care: Experiences when Writing Short Descriptive Texts in English. profile [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.1, pp.11-30. ISSN 1657-0790.
Today it is necessary to approach environmental topics with students in an interdisciplinary manner to mitigate the environmental damages that the Earth is suffering. In this paper we report an action-research and innovation study aimed at sensitizing students with respect to the care and preservation of the environment through the writing of short descriptive texts in English. The study had four stages: motivation, knowledge of ecological vocabulary, production of sentences and paragraphs, construction of short descriptive texts with the help of guidance questions and their publication in the school newspaper. The findings show that the procedure used in class promotes interdisciplinary work around environmental topics as well as the development of writing skills.
