El argot juvenil y su influencia en los procesos de escritura

Abstract

The research Youth slang and its influence on writing processes has as its main objective the design of a didactic strategy at the Nelson Garcés Vernaza Educational Institution specifically with tenth grade students; by means of which it is sought that they become aware of the lexicon they use, that is, the slang proper to their context, and that this is a motivation to write. First, the aim is to identify the use of youth slang by students in the writing processes, to later build a dictionary among all the participants where the lexicon and the expressions proper to their context are condensed, and thus, to be able to design a didactic strategy to encourage tenth grade youth to write, since they show a constant rejection of writing. 3 To achieve the objectives set out in the research, data collection instruments were used such as: the observation of students in the educational context and the field diary to collect information. These were a great input for the design of the teaching strategy. During the research, the students actively participated in each of the activities proposed; The concept of Youth Slang and its use as something specific to age and context were positively presented. The foregoing greatly facilitated collaborative work and the commitment to develop the activities, and with it, collective reflection on the use of youth slang in their writing was encouraged. The results obtained during the investigation showed that the students showed confidence when carrying out their writings and also felt motivated to use their slang within educational practice. During the design of the didactic strategy, it was sought that creative writing take strength and be the main tool to develop writing processes in students. Finally, it is important to mention that the didactic strategy designed in this research manages to adapt to the needs of different grades; which allows raising awareness and reflecting on the use of slang in elementary, high school and vocational media and using it as a very valuable resource to encourage writing
