The results showed that 29% agree that it is difficult for them to organize their ideas and it takes them time to start short writings, 29% state that they do not notice that their teachers carry out procedures to be able to write easily, showing that only 15% totally agreed that teachers apply procedures to facilitate writing, noting that 32% totally agreed that teachers should be updated in relation to pre-writing techniques. It is concluded that teachers do not have the necessary resources, they continue with a traditional teaching style and rarely apply techniques to facilitate the generation of ideas and it is offered a series of pedagogical recommendations that could be adapted to English classes in the development of writing.
