Writing argumentative texts in English

Instruction mediated by technological tools is a common practice in many contexts; however, there are limitations that affect the development of the activity. Fear of dependence on technological resources, lack of knowledge about their use, and a strict adherence to writing as a process influence change. The change in question is necessary because of the importance of empowering multilingual writers in the work of creating, writing, editing and enriching their manuscripts and works. Many of the technological aids to translation and interpretation are slowly becoming part of the writer's repertoire despite the resistance of pedagogical thinking at universities.
