Introduction: This article is the result of a research in which a didactic sequence was carried out within a
pre university students’ group. The purpose was to develop competencies in the production of essays type
argumentative texts mediated by photography, as well as to generate reflection towards language teaching
practices in the researchers.
Methodology: The study was done from a quantitative perspective with a quasi-experimental intra-group design, where a Pre-test was applied, then a didactic intervention was developed and finally a Post-test was
carried out. The data analysis was executed by means of an evaluation grid for text production and a field diary
to analyse the language practices.
Results: The results show the efficacy of didactic sequences to strengthen argumentative skills in students. On
the other hand, the researchers transformed the way they conceive and teach language.
Conclusions: The implementation of a didactic sequence, the photography as a mediation, collective feedback,
the icts use, and the inclusive task were fundamental for achieving the research objectives. Nonetheless, the
development of argumentative skills and the essays production require a constant process that suggests the
need to include academic literacy in high education curriculum.
