With introduction and the practical application of the principles of communicative competence, traditional models based on memorization were discarded and greater emphasis was placed on the importance of using the target language purposefully. Moreover, speaking and writing came to the foreground in ELT as both skills foster student-production and may also help to raise awareness on language related issues. Nevertheless, the excessive and almost exclusive focus on the sole development of speaking is evident. Despite its importance for the development of communicative competence, writing is not treated fairly in the classroom. In fact, writing is highly beneficial for teachers and students. For educators, compositions are the visible realization of learners´ interlanguage. As such, writing enables teachers to identify problematic areas and find practical solutions to them. For students, writing tasks trigger critical thinking processes and allow them to plan, organize and express their ideas visually. At this point, it is undeniable that the role and the approach to writing must be reconsidered. In this paper, a group of second-year students from Profesorado Superior de Lenguas Vivas participated in a series of communicative activities hoped to bring understanding on the importance of regarding writing as an active process. To this end, listening, speaking and reading materials were used as sources of pre-writing techniques that could help learners discover and unleash their potential in writing tasks. metadata Roldan, Germán Jose Maria mail joseroldan.769@gmail.com (2022) An Action Research for Implementing Pre-Reading Tasks as a Learning Strategy to increase superstructure, macrostructure and microstructure awareness in written productions.
