Abstract
Introduction. Continuously check the
problems about the scarce reading
and writing skills of students of the
different educational levels, including
the university, as well as show that the
training of students in these skills has
been scarce in some educational systems in Latin America, are valid reasons for continue the investigations in
this regard. Objective. In this sense,
the purpose was to describe the beliefs (social representations) built on the
domain of the language in university
students from Venezuela, Ecuador,
Peru and Cuba. Materials and methods. The Discourse Analysis method was used, the sample was integrated by 289 students belonging to
eight universities, as a data collection
instrument a diagnostic test was used
and the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics complemented with
content analysis. Results The main
findings reveal high and medium valuation for the Spanish language proficiency category; consequently, the
social representations found indicate
that students have the belief that they
have strategies that make them competent in the domain of the language.
While for the reading comprehension,
syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels there is a predominance of regular and poor traits, which shows a poor
management of basic linguistic skills.
Conclusion. There is a clear contradiction between students’ beliefs and
the competencies they have.
