Abstract

This is a general view about how Literature has been incorporated in a teaching EFL school program. In addition to this, through this proposal was shown the application of a new methodology using Literature as a tool for improving writing competence. This methodology consisted of; writing comments in the journal and doing intensive reading using the story map for improving writing. As well, teaching English in public school was an aspect taken into account, because the study was done in a public school in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. In addition to this it was an Action Research study so that all the instruments, and research processes were based on what AR suggests to do in an educational study. Three instruments were applied in this study; a placement test, an interview and a questionnaire. As a result the students’ improvement was seen in the different journal´s writing assignments given to them.
