AB Competence in written English is widely recognized as an important skill for topics related to business, educationand personal relationships. Teaching writing is fast becoming more and more important in learning today. Thepresent study was intended as an attempt to explore whether Anita Pincas’ teaching method for writing enablesSpanish primary school children to improve their writing skill in English. This study was conducted with two groupsof sixth year Spanish children who were divided as follows: i) making them use the teaching writing method(experimental group) and ii) without the method (control group). The first group was trained by means of a 4-lessonintervention programme following the main phases that Anita Pincas proposes. To examine the effects of thismethod, one pre-test and one post-test were given to the children of each group to check their differences andevaluate their improvement through comparing the errors made. Results indicated that the children of both groupsimproved their writing skill, although this was especially significant in the experimental group concerning writingstructure. Therefore, it can be concluded that Anita Pincas’ method positively influenced the progress ofschoolchildren's writing skills.
