AB This contribution shows the current status of the study of the teaching of writing in the field of L1 Spanish teaching. With this aim, we first discuss the origin, topics of focus and the evolution of Applied Linguistics, and the teaching of language and literature. Next, we focus on the teaching of writing. This study first discusses different approaches to the teaching of this skill, before introducing the current dominant approach used in secondary education for the teaching of Spanish as a mother tongue: the communicative and functional approach. Finally, we formulate a proposal for the teaching of writing skills based on the microfunction analysis methodology, developed from the communicative and functional approach. The effectiveness of this methodology was the focus of previous studies, which are briefly discussed here.
