Spa: La educación rural carece de materiales contextualizados para las necesidades de los estudiantes. Por esta razón, este estudio describe un estudio de caso en un undécimo grado en un colegio rural de Boyacá. El objetivo del estudio es analizar la influencia de los materiales contextualizados en el desarrollo de la habilidad de escritura a través de talleres de historias familiares. Los datos se recopilaron mediante un cuestionario reflexivo, una entrevista semiestructurada y la producción de los estudiantes. Los resultados mostraron que los talleres fueron una posibilidad para escribir acerca de uno mismo, la familia, los amigos y de los valores y lecciones morales de la comunidad. Igualmente, se evidenciaron algunos aspectos tales como la conciencia lingüística, modeling, las estructuras gramaticales y la creatividad. Bibliografía y webgrafía: páginas 70-77.
