Resumen
ROGERS, Aaron. Using Technology to Facilitate Process Writing and Interaction among Adult Students. profile [online]. 2008, n.9, pp.197-218. ISSN 1657-0790.
This article deals with how through the innovative use of word processing software, process writing and interaction can be fostered among students. A description of the context where the technology is implemented is first laid out, followed by a review of the literature concerning process writing and technology based principally on Pennington's (1996) model. Pennington's (1996) model is then expanded on inasmuch as the way in which collaboration around the computer (group and pair work) and through the computer (e-mail, chat, blogs, and forums) can give rise to interaction among students and, therefore, language learning and more autonomous students. Finally, a lesson plan is presented where stages and examples are given showing how technology can be implemented in practice.
