Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to apply poster as didactic innovation in the Teaching process of English Language in writing skill focused on vocabulary in order to improve it. It was elaborated with twelve students from seventh grade at Colegio Maestro Calixto Moya from Masatepe during the period from March to November 2015. To gather information we applied five sessions. A diagnostic session to identify the main difficulties in writing skill, a presentation session to introduce the innovation, an interaction to apply the poster with Linking Language Strategy, a pre-experimentation where students created their own poster and a final product to present their finished work. We applied a class observation, interview to the teacher, interview and survey to the sample students and evaluation rubrics. Students have difficulties when they write sentences because they do not know the spelling and meaning of the words. Other problem is the word order. The innovation was developed through Linking Language Strategy with sample students. It is the easiest way to teach and motivate them to learn new words and put it in practice as well. Key words: innovation, writing skill, vocabulary, and poster
