          Abstract

          This research analyzes the processes students undergo when writing hypertexts collaboratively. This qualitative case study provides an overall picture of students' EFL writing through hypertext design. It is a collaborative experience which explores and documents how students deal with grammatical, textual and pragmatic aspects when writing hypertexts. This study draws upon data collected during a semester con ducted with engineering students at a university in 2003. Students' hypertexts, audio recordings, students' reflection logs and an interview were used as main data collection sources. Two main categories emerged as a result of triangulating evidence: "Process of collaborative hypertext writing and negotiation" and "Use of concept mapping and other strategies to overcome difficulties in hypertext writing".

          Esta investigación analiza los procesos por los cuales los estudiantes pasan al escribir hipertextos en conjunto. Este estudio cualitativo de casos provee una fotografía en conjunto de la escritura en EFL a través del diseño de hipertexto. Es una experiencia de colaboración que explora y documenta cómo los estudiantes tratan los aspectos gramaticales, textuales y pragmáticos cuando escriben hipertexto. Este estudio recurre a los datos coleccionado durante un semestre con estudiantes de ingeniería en una universidad en 2003. Los hipertextos de los estudiantes, grabaciones de audio, la reflexión de estudiantes y una entrevista fueron usados como fuentes principales de recolección de datos. Dos categorías principales surgieron al triangular la información: el "Proceso de la escritura hipertextual colaborativa y la negociación" y "El uso de mapas conceptuales y otras estrategias para superar dificultades en la escritura hipertextual".
